•“Gather valid and reliable information about the performance of the learners on an ongoing basis. Use clearly defined criteria when gathering this evidence and making judgements about it:
•Use a variety of methods, tools, techniques and contexts
•Record the findings in a manner that enables each learner's progress to be tracked; and
•Report on each learner’s progress in a specified format.”

Moderation
“Moderation refers to the process that ensures that the assessment tasks are fair, valid and reliable. Moderation should be carried out internally at school and/or externally at district, provincial and national levels. Given that the promotion of learners in the Intermediate Phase is largely dependent upon the SBA (which contributes 75%) the moderation process should be intensified to ensure that:
•Learners are not disadvantaged by invalid and unreliable assessment tasks,
•Quality assessment is given, and high but achievable standards are maintained.”

Different forms of assessments (projects, assignments, tests, exams, investigations)

Cognitive levels 
(knowledge, routine procedures, complex procedures, problem-solving)
