Which term involves reviewing assessments to ensure consistency and accuracy?

• A. Fit for Purpose
• B. Amplification Section
• C. Standardisation
• D. Sampling Judgements

Answer: (A)

Standardisation focuses on making sure assessments are applied and marked in a consistent way so that results are reliable and comparable. It involves using a shared marking scheme, providing exemplars of how different scores should look, training markers, and holding moderation or calibration sessions where markers align on how criteria are interpreted. This process directly targets consistency and accuracy across scripts, examiners, and times. In contrast, fit for purpose is about whether the assessment is suitable for its intended use, not the consistency of marking; amplification section and sampling judgments relate to other aspects of assessment design or evaluation.
