Which term best matches the collection of evidence recorded during the assessment process?

• A. Judgements
• B. Observation Records
• C. Synoptic Assessment
• D. Sampling Judgements

Answer: (B)

Observation Records are the documented notes and checklists that capture what a learner did and how they did it during the assessment. They form the actual evidential base used to judge performance—recording observations, tasks completed, behaviors, and outcomes so there is a traceable trail of evidence. This distinguishes them from the final decisions about attainment (judgements), the integrated approach of combining evidence across units (synoptic assessment), or the decisions about what pieces of evidence to sample (sampling judgements). So, the collection of evidence recorded during the assessment process is best described by Observation Records.
