What describes the standards used to evaluate learner performance?

• A. Assessment Criteria
• B. Standards used to evaluate learner performance
• C. Recorded judgments
• D. Authentic Evidence

Answer: (B)

Standards used to evaluate learner performance are the benchmarks you apply to judge how well a learner has met the requirements. In practice, these are the assessment criteria—the explicit statements of what good performance looks like and how marks are awarded. The option that states exactly “standards used to evaluate learner performance” describes these standards directly, making it the best fit for the stem. The other options refer to the outcome of assessment (recorded judgments), the learner’s actual work (authentic evidence), or the named term for the standards themselves (assessment criteria), which don’t define the standards as clearly.
