**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** This is sheer frustration! Add my 11th grade N. S. class to the list of pupils who did poorly on the new modular exam....and BIG TIME, like all the rest. In comparison, my 12th grade 5 pointers came through as expected. ...no surprises whatsoever! I have also voiced my constructive criticism regarding the level of the Ministry's mock exams and E.C. Book's practice tests...I realize these are not official Ministry exams, but they were approved by them! We all used these to "prepare" our kids for the Bagrut and we calculated their "magen" grades,based to some extent, on them. The actual test, as we saw it in May, was quite another story and I already knew then we'd be in trouble when the grades came in. I'd NEVER had pupils running to me after the test so upset and asking about "moed bet", especially Native Speakers! I think the Ministry has to deal with this up front and immediately. Judy, your input is very much needed here!
