Kathryn do you think you should point out to the board the discrepancy between the level exam your students are taking and the level of the necessary dictionary.

Before giving your students the exam, always check the words they need to find are in the dictionaries you provide. I made the mistake of not doing this and found out just before the exam that my Entry 2 students would have to use an advanced dictionary!
