Which term is used for 'Units graded by internal assessment criteria'?

• A. Internally assessed units
• B. Crime-related Issues
• C. Evaluation of Evidence
• D. Achievement Standards

Answer: (A)

Units graded by internal assessment criteria are called internally assessed units. This means the marking is done by teachers at the centre using a defined set of criteria from the awarding body, rather than by external examiners. Learners produce work such as reports, portfolios, or practical tasks, which are judged against the internal criteria to determine the grade. The work then goes through internal standardisation and external moderation to ensure consistency across centres. The other options refer to topics or processes rather than the type of unit: crime-related issues is a subject area, evaluation of evidence is a method, and achievement standards describe what counts as different levels of performance rather than how a unit is assessed.
