As for the literature bagrut exam- could it be that when teachers do the 
literature course-they receive very good information about what's needed in the 
LOG- and practically nothing about the EXAM?- ( I didn't get any information at 
all about the exam in the course I took last year) I have now looked at and 
studied the last three literature exams. I would say that it's not a literature 
exam in the way that teachers from the States or England would expect.  For 
example, you are not asked to quote to support your ideas, neither are you 
asked to write in much depth or in great length. It's enough for the students 
to know the texts well and certainly in detail- but not that thoroughly. The 
student is asked several short comprehension questions on THREE texts (poems 
and stories) including answering about 10 lines on the main ideas behind ONE of 
the texts. I suggest that the literature course provides at least 50% of the 
time on discussion and ideas in how to teach for the exam. Sincerely, Janette 
Segal
