The term that describes 'Points assigned to each assessment criterion' is which?

• A. Assessment Criteria.
• B. Marks Allocation.
• C. Summative Assessment.
• D. Controlled Assessment.

Answer: (A)

Marks allocation is the way marking distributes points across the criteria. It shows how much each criterion contributes to the final grade, making the weighting clear and fair for both the assessor and the learner. Each criterion gets a defined number of marks, so the overall score reflects the relative importance of different aspects of the work. In contrast, assessment criteria are the actual statements of what must be demonstrated, summative assessment refers to the overall end‑point evaluation, and controlled assessment describes the conditions under which the assessment is carried out.
