Fellow teaachers,

    I wish to add my name to the list of those teachers who, after years of 
successfully preparing pupils for Bagrut exams, have found themselves 
stuttering excuses in light of the results of the  module E exam in Yod 
Aleph, echoing the plaintive cry "What did I do wrong?" without finding any 
answer.  Because there is no answer.  We did nothing wrong.

  In general, I think we were all misled regarding the level and demands of 
the test.  However, I am also curious about other teachers reactions to the 
following;  after reviewing grades from both the seniors and the juniors, 
and without scientifically checking,  my intuition tells me that the longer 
reading passage for the 12th graders made the passage easier to deal with 
than the almost identical, but shortened, module E text.  Did the 
abridgement perhaps affect the pupils' ability to answer questions almost 
identical to those put on the 5 point exam?  Does anyone have any thoughts 
on this issue?

                  Linda
