When should I send my child to be evaluated for hakalot (accommodations) for the Bagruyot (matriculated exams?
The best time for pre-teens to be evaluated for accommodations for Bagrut exams is at the end of grade 7 or during grade 8.The evaluations need to be given by educational psychologists that are accredited by Misrad Hachinuch. Olim that have been evaluated in their native countries need to inquire about the evaluations they have in order to determine if they can be used. Parents should approach school guidance counselors and principals at the beginning of grade 9 with this question to give themselves enough time to deal with this issue before Bagrut exams begin in grade 10.
