Which term is associated with ensuring assessment tasks and materials align across different centers to maintain consistency?

• A. Acceptable Forms of Evidence
• B. Quality Assurance
• C. Model Assignment
• D. Coherent Tasks

Answer: (C)

Quality Assurance ensures that assessment tasks and materials are standardized across all centres, so outcomes are comparable and fair. It covers the processes for designing tasks, applying criteria, and marking in a consistent way, often including moderation, standardisation activities, and cross-centre checks. A Model Assignment is useful as a reference example, but it doesn’t in itself guarantee consistency across centres. Acceptable Forms of Evidence defines what counts as evidence, not how tasks across centres are aligned. Coherent Tasks relate to how tasks fit together, but the overarching mechanism that maintains cross-centre alignment is Quality Assurance.
