What does Task Setting ensure?

• A. Criteria ensuring tasks meet WJEC control standards
• B. The deadline for submission
• C. Evidence of tasks completed under controlled conditions
• D. Standards for national assessment

Answer: (A)

Task Setting is about making sure the tasks used for assessment are chosen or created in a way that meets WJEC’s control standards. This means the tasks are secure, appropriate for the level, and clearly aligned with what the assessment aims to measure, so every learner has a fair chance. By ensuring the tasks themselves fit these criteria, centres uphold the board’s requirements for controlled assessments and enable reliable, fair marking. The other options relate to submission timing, evidence that work was done under controlled conditions, or broad national standards, which aren’t what Task Setting specifically ensures.
