  1. Question 1

    An assessor suspects that there has been collaboration between candidates in an assessment that was intended to assess the individuals knowledge or skills. Which one of the following actions is most likely to determine if collaboration has taken place?
    • Verify the knowledge of the suspected candidate by oral questioning.
    • Make all candidates take the assessment again.
    • Make a final judgement, based on past performance of the candidate.
    • Set a new assessment for the suspected candidate.

  2. Question 2

    Are there any advantages in using oral questioning when assessing a candidate on a one to one basis?
    • Yes, follow-up questions can be adjusted to the candidate's response and therefore allow assessment of different cognitive and affective skills.
    • The only real advantage is that the assessor can see for themselves if the candidate knows anything related to the subject.
    • No, there are no real advantages; the assessor would always be better using written questions to assess in a one to one situation.

  3. Question 3

    Bloom's taxonomy divides skills into three domains. Which one of the domains identified in the options deals mainly with knowledge and understanding?
    • Cognitive.
    • Affective.
    • Psychomotor.
    • Elective.

  4. Question 4

    How can oral questioning be used to confirm a candidate's competence following an assessment by direct observation in which they have performed a practical task?
    • Answering oral questions allows the candidate to provide evidence of their knowledge, understanding and other skills required to confirm competence.
    • Oral questions allow the candidate to verbally report on how they performed the task which is all that is required to demonstrate competence.

  5. Question 5

    In relation to a programme of learning, select from the following the one which identifies when formative assessment would normally take place?
    • Only at the beginning of the programme.
    • At various stages during the programme.
