If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.

Were the assessment instructions clear?
How closely did tasks match the preparation provided?
Which part felt difficult to interpret?
Was the available time explained in advance?
What would make the process clearer?

Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable:
1. Clear instructions help learners distinguish what to submit, how to proceed and which rules apply. Identify the ambiguous requirement without using this survey to decide a grading dispute.
2. Preparation alignment reveals whether assessment tasks required familiarity that teaching or guidance did not provide. Compare reported gaps with actual materials before making conclusions about assessment validity.
3. Difficult interpretation locates ambiguity in wording, task structure or expected output. Investigate the specific source of confusion rather than assuming every difficult assessment item is inappropriate.
4. Advance timing information affects how learners organize participation. Distinguish uncertainty about the allotted time from dissatisfaction with its length before revising assessment communications.
5. Suggested clarification shows which process instruction would reduce avoidable guessing. Test the revised explanation against the actual assessment procedure without implying that clearer wording changes marks.
