Fascinating discussion.  I am particularly fascinated by the fact that
teachers seem to mention the "extra" work involved in giving out the
LOG rather than the test.  This is my first year teaching bagrut so I
don't know what it was like before this whole literature and HOTS
thing began.  I do know that I enjoy the log far better than I would
if I were teaching towards the exam, and I know that my students are
better at understanding the material when it's a process rather than
"cram" for a test.  (Not to belittle the exam teaching process by any
means, I'm just speaking about my students in particular as I teach at
a special ed. school.)

That being said, I too, am curious how either the exam or the LOG
accurately assess the student's knowledge/English abilities.  Yet,
can't help but think that while the change/reform may not be perfect,
I am certainly happy that literature has been recognized by the MOE as
something that must be required and therefore tested to be certain
that it's being taught "properly".
