WGU D184 – Standards-Based Assessment (OA)
Examination
WGU D184 (Standards-Based Assessment) focuses on the
principles and application of standards-based grading,
proficiency scales, assessment design, assessment
blueprints, validity, reliability, learning targets,
declarative and procedural knowledge, data interpretation,
parallel assessments, and evidence-based grading practices.
The Objective Assessment (OA) primarily evaluates
competencies from the first three instructional units and
emphasizes scenario-based application rather than simple
recall. Students commonly report that the OA requires
selecting the best assessment-related decision in realistic
classroom situations.
