Dear Students

The bagrut exam in oral proficiency is taken via the Computerized Oral Bagrut Exam (COBE).
A friendly avatar, Alphi, accompanies you throughout the exam, explaining what has to be done,
and asking the questions you are required to answer. Alphi will remind you to record your answers,
reminding you that one sentence is not enough as a response, and tell you when to move on and
what has to be done next at each stage.

The Structure of the Exam:

Part A - Personal Response (25 points)

Part B - Project Presentation (25 points)

Part C - Response to an Audio-Visual Prompt (50 points)

In each part of the exam, you will be asked a set of two questions on the same topic.
You need to record your answers onto the computer. It is crucial that you record your
answers for all the questions in the set in one recording without stopping the recording
between answers.

Pay attention! If you record multiple recordings for an answer, only the first two will
be checked without deductions.

You may revise your responses if necessary by deleting the recording you want to
revise and re-recording your answers but you have to mind the clock so you will be
able to complete the exam.

The entire exam has a time limit of 30 minutes. You have to be able to pace your
work correctly within the allotted 30 minutes.
