Bagrut Exams

Some people believe that the Bagrut exams are the most reliable way of testing the students' knowledge. I think this is right and the best way so far to know how good the students are.

First of all, the Bagrut exams provide the knowledge of the student's abilities in "real time ".Every student has his own test, but same question as the other students. This way the grades can be more accurate about the student's knowledge. For example; researches from the U.S show that final exams are the best accurate way testing the students' knowledge.

Second, Bagrut exams test all students in every high school in the same time, and asking the same questions.

The questions all over the country are the same, so there is no " gap knowledge " between people which born at the same year but not at the same city at Israel(phr. - not clear).

To sum up, I believe that the Bagrut exams are the best way of testing students so far, and until there is a better way to know about our knowledge the education system should keep it as it is.
