Which term denotes related tasks contributing to a single assessment goal?

• A. Acceptable Forms of Evidence
• B. Quality Assurance
• C. Coherent Tasks
• D. Time Control

Answer: (C)

Coherent tasks are tasks that are linked and work together toward a single assessment goal. When tasks are coherent, each one supports the same objective, creating a logical progression that builds the evidence needed to demonstrate that goal has been met. This alignment helps both the learner and the assessor see how each part contributes to the overall outcome, avoiding gaps or duplication and ensuring a clear, unified assessment.

Other terms don’t fit because:

• Acceptable forms of evidence describe what kinds of evidence are valid, not how tasks relate to a single goal.

• Quality assurance refers to processes that monitor standards, not the linking of tasks to one objective.

• Time control concerns scheduling and pacing, not the relationship between tasks and the assessment goal.
