You are expected to have retained some basic vocabulary; a degree of understanding of the derivation system must augment your repertoire of basic vocabulary by that much; and then, of course, there is the unlimited completely new vocabulary which comes with the uncontrolled exposure to live language. This is why you are allowed to use dictionaries; but this is also why the time allowed for dictionary searches is carefully factored in. } BREAKDOWN OF EXAM AND GRADE ‎The exam comprises the following components: I EXTRACTS FROM EXERCISES DONE IN CLASS (50%): ‎1.1 From English into Arabic (15%) ‎1.2 From Arabic into English(35%) Il.
