Controlled Assessments• Replacement for coursework.• The task may be set directly by the Awarding
Body, or it may be adapted by the school to suit the students’ learning.
• Research can be done unsupervised out of the classroom.
• Writing-up will need to be done in the classroom in normal lesson times.
• The usual practice is that controlled assessments are marked by teaching staff (and then moderated by the Awarding Body).
