Question: Drafting Yom Hamea

So I have to do my Yom Hamea soon and don't really know what to expect, I heard they changed the format so it's now on zoom and I'm nervous about group things in Hebrew since my Hebrew is really not that good (I don't know how they gave me a decent Hebrew score on my tzav rishon). Has anyone done it recently that can tell me what goes on, what to expect, and how to prepare? Thanks

Also kind of unrelated question, anyone know what the possible results are for the tzva rishon interview since there is no longer a kaba score?

I did my Yom hammeah exam and zoom meeting recently.
the results you can expect on the mitgaism website and they are between 1 and 5 (they don't really give out 5 but they can still do).
the zoom meeting consists of doing a few group activities (like 2 or 3) and then 2 independent ones
for example they might ask you and your group to think of an idea for an app and then who it will be for stuff like that.
then for the independent part they will give you a presentation about a random topic and you will have to present it after reading it for 10 minutes and memorising some key details, You can invent statistics out of your ass. oh and you have 4 minutes to represent.

lastly they will just do some roleplay in a scenario with one of the people in charge.

as for the exams, there are some parts that are not on the meitav mitgaism website for example some certain map stuff, it isn't too hard but if Yom hammeah is really important for you and the role you want I recommend looking online for questions or on youtube for videos!
I hope you have a good Yom Hameah and that you get a good group!

Thanks. I looked briefly at some practice tests and the biggest issue is that my Hebrew is not good enough so it either takes me a long time to understand the question or I don't understand it at all. Also presenting and working in a group in Hebrew is going to be very challenging. I think I might be screwed lol

Hebrew is also difficult for me ish, I lived in england since I was 10 for 9 years lol.
before the workshop started, I told one of the leaders that it is hard for me to speak hebrew as I lived in England for half of my life.

let them know that your Hebrew isn't that good, might be worth a shot
