In addition to the Elementary and Intermediate objectives, students are required to: define machlokes, Svara’s strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, formulate abstract legal categories, display a proficiency in advanced conceptualization of talmudic text and commentaries, extracting principles and evaluate the relationship between parts of the legal discussion. The difference between the Advanced I and Advanced II exams is found in the difficulty of the commentaries assigned, self-preparation of a previously unseen Gemara and its commentaries and complexity of the subjects being analyzed.
