Yes, Sorry I read too quickly..  BUT as for practicing with CDs.. All the 
new books ( 3 years ) now have their books / texts recorded on CDs which 
means the kids can use these for practice.. I am not even sure they still 
have cassettes.  but anyways.. If the new exams were done on CDs ( which is 
already old technology but.. ) then we'd also have some exams to use for 
practice..AND again it is also possible now to record an exam by reading it 
on to a MP3/4 or on to the computer .  Unfortunately , yet again ,, more 
work for the English teacher !! but what's new??!!!

So again.. for those who want to try to make the change from cassettes/ 
tapes to new technology .. write to Rachela Shiffer/ Testing Dept.

who can listen to the test from a tape AND ALSO dictate the answers to
a tape - used to be able to get from Judy an accommodation of a person
to read to them, so they wouldn't need to use 2 tapes at the same
time. As of summer 2008, they can not have the reader, so they will
have to use 2 tapes.
>What Aviva wrote about (CDs or tapes) is also an issue, but I don't
agree with her, because my school has no way of recording tests on CDs
, so we would not be able to have the kids practice using CDs before
the bagrut...)
