Which term is defined as 'Internal assessment conducted under set conditions'?

• A. Internal assessment
• B. Controlled internal assessment
• C. External assessment
• D. Assessment opportunities

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how different ways of assessing students are defined, especially what “controlled” means in this context. Controlled internal assessment is an internal task completed within the school but under strict, set conditions defined by the qualification. These conditions include standardized rules on time limits, the resources allowed, supervision, and the processes used to carry out and submit the work. The goal is to ensure fairness and consistency across learners and centres, while the work is still marked internally and later moderated externally to maintain standardization.

So, when you see the phrase “Internal assessment conducted under set conditions,” it points to the controlled internal assessment because that wording emphasizes both the internal nature of the task and the controlled, standardized environment in which it must be completed.

The other options don’t fit as well: an internal assessment in general doesn't necessarily imply the fixed conditions, external assessment is done outside the school and not under the school’s control, and assessment opportunities refer to chances to be assessed rather than a specific type of assessment.
