One externally assessed unit contributes 25% or 50% to the certificate, the other contributes 25% to the diploma. This statement is true for which pair of units?

• A. Question valid across both externally assessed units
• B. This is a general statement
• C. One externally assessed unit contributes 25% or 50% to the certificate, the other contributes 25% to the diploma
• D. Externally assessed units do not contribute to the certificate

Answer: (C)

Understanding how externally assessed units contribute differently to the certificate and the diploma is what this question is about. In this qualification, the two externally assessed units have specific weightings that determine how much each contributes to the final awards. The statement describes the exact setup for that pair: one external unit counts toward the certificate with a weighting of 25% or 50%, while the other external unit counts toward the diploma with a 25% weighting. That direct description matches how the two external units are structured, so it’s the best answer. The other options don’t fit because they either speak too generally about external assessments or claim external units don’t contribute to the certificate, which isn’t true for this qualification.
