An assessment covering multiple units or themes is known as which?

• A. Unit-based Assessment
• B. Comprehensive Assessment
• C. Synoptic Assessment
• D. Thematic Assessment

Answer: (C)

Synoptic assessment captures the idea of pulling together material from across several units or themes to show how they interrelate. It tests your ability to integrate knowledge, apply it in new contexts, and demonstrate synthesis rather than simply recalling isolated facts. This is why it fits an assessment that spans multiple units or themes. In contrast, a unit-based assessment concentrates on one unit, a comprehensive assessment may be broad but not necessarily focused on integration across units, and a thematic assessment centers on a single theme rather than cross-unit synthesis.
