Which term refers to the process of reviewing grading to ensure consistency?

• A. Assessment moderation
• B. Learner assessment evidence
• C. Campaign
• D. Hate crime

Answer: (A)

Assessment moderation is the process of reviewing grading to ensure consistency across markers and marking standards. It checks that marks are applied fairly and align with the given criteria, reducing differences in how different assessors judge the same work. In WJEC Level 3 Criminology, moderation happens both within a centre and, where required, by the awarding body to confirm that grading is reliable across learners and assessors. The learner’s actual work (learner assessment evidence) is what’s being reviewed, but it isn’t the process of review itself. The other options—campaign and hate crime—do not relate to how marking is checked or standardized. So, the term that best fits is assessment moderation.
