Task Setting Explained

The levels of control for task setting are:

  • high,
  • medium, and
  • low/limited.

A High Level of Control for Task Setting

We set the task.

A Medium Level of Control for Task Setting

We provide a task that can be adapted by the teacher.

A Low/Limited Level of Control for Task Setting

The teacher sets the task according to criteria provided by us.

Some specifications require teachers to submit the titles to us.

There are also some specifications that offer teachers a choice, for example:

  • choose from exemplar tasks provided by us;
  • create a task of choice; or
  • adapt a task provided by us.

To ensure that the tasks continue to set an appropriate challenge, we will;

  • replace the task every year for specifications with 25% controlled assessment;
  • review the task, as a minimum, every two years for specifications with 60% controlled assessment.
