- Repertoire performance program
- The prepared set of solo works a student performs for assessment in Units 3 and 4, meeting prescribed duration, ensemble and approved-repertoire requirements.
- Technical control criterion
- The assessment descriptor covering accuracy of pitch and rhythm, fluency, articulation, tone production and command of the instrument or voice.
- Expressive control criterion
- The assessment descriptor covering dynamics, phrasing, shaping, balance and the performer's communication of the work's character.
- Stylistic awareness
- Understanding and application of the conventions of the work's style and period, including articulation, ornamentation, tone and phrasing appropriate to that style.
- Approved repertoire list
- The set of works or work-groups from which a student's program must be drawn, as specified in the study design for the instrument or voice.
- Program duration requirement
- The prescribed total playing time for the assessed program; exceeding or falling short of it affects eligibility or assessment.
- Movement as a work
- A designated movement or section of a larger work may count as a complete work where the study design permits it.
- Solo versus ensemble performance
- Solo performance is assessed on individual control and interpretation; ensemble performance adds criteria for balance, blend, cueing and responsiveness to other players.
- Stagecraft
- Presentation elements such as entry, posture, acknowledgement of accompanist and audience, and composure, assessed where the study design includes presentation criteria.
- Accompanist role
- The accompanist supports the soloist and is not assessed; balance and coordination with the accompanist fall within the soloist's assessed performance.
- Performance recording
- The audio or video capture of the assessed program submitted for external or cross marking, which must meet the authority's technical and continuity requirements.
- Memorisation requirement
- The rule stating which works, if any, must be performed from memory; non-compliance reduces the assessed result.
- Sight-reading component
- An unprepared performance task in which the student performs unfamiliar notation after brief preparation, assessed against its own criteria.
- Improvisation component
- An unprepared or prepared task requiring extemporised performance within a given style, chord sequence or structure, assessed separately from repertoire.
- Technical work
- Scales, arpeggios, studies or exercises assessed only where the study design names them as an assessed component.
- Performance descriptors
- Written statements describing levels of quality for each criterion, used to allocate scores consistently across students and schools.
- School-based Assessment
- Assessment of Units 3 and 4 outcomes conducted by the school using tasks designated in the study design, contributing a set percentage of the study score.
- Study score
- The final scaled result for the study, combining moderated school-based assessment with externally assessed performance or examination results.
- Designated assessment task
- A task type listed in the study design for a specific outcome; only these task types may be used to assess that outcome.
- Outcome-based assessment
- Assessment organised around the study design's outcomes, each of which must be assessed at least once using an approved task.
- Authentication
- The teacher's verification, supported by signed records, that submitted work is the student's own and was completed under required conditions.
- Statistical moderation
- The process that adjusts school-based scores against external results so that scores are comparable across schools and cohorts.
- Rank order
- The ordering of students within a class by school-based score, which is preserved through statistical moderation.
- Score distribution
- The spread of school-based scores within a cohort, which moderation adjusts to match the external performance pattern of that cohort.
- Redemption
- A permitted opportunity for a student to reattempt or improve a school-based task, available only under the conditions and limits set by the authority.
- Rescheduled assessment
- An approved alternative sitting of a school-based task granted when documented absence or illness prevents attendance at the original time.
- Assessment criteria sheet
- The document listing criteria and descriptors used to score a specific school-based task, provided to students in advance.
- Records retention
- The requirement to keep task sheets, criteria, student work, scores and authentication records for the period set by the authority.
- Cross-marking
- Review of assessed performance or tasks by teachers other than the class teacher to improve consistency and comparability.
- External assessment weighting
- The fixed percentage of the study score contributed by the external examination or externally assessed performance, with the remainder from school-based assessment.
- Task conditions
- The specified rules for a school-based task, including time allowed, supervision, resources permitted and whether work is done in class or at home.
- Feedback and drafting limits
- The rules governing how much teacher feedback and drafting a student may receive on a school-based task before authentication.
