1According to the SDP315120 External Assessment Specifications, what is the required duration of the externally assessed monologue?
A.Between 3 and 5 minutes
B.Between 8 and 12 minutes
C.Exactly 15 minutes on stage
D.Under 2 minutes if the text is dense
Explanation: TASC requires the external monologue to run a minimum of 3 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes. Undertime work can attract ‘t’ ratings on specified Criterion 2 and Criterion 3 elements, and assessment ceases at the 5-minute maximum.
2What attire does TASC recommend for the Theatre Performance external monologue examination?
A.Full production costume matching the group-play wardrobe
B.Rehearsal blacks with only indicative clothing or props if needed
C.Casual school uniform with visible personal jewellery
D.Any contemporary streetwear chosen for comfort
Explanation: EAS advice states monologue candidates should wear rehearsal blacks, adding only indicative items (for example a hat, stick or glass) when required. Full costume is assessed in the group play; monologue presentation prioritises clarity of character over production costume.
3Which text type is acceptable for the externally assessed Theatre Performance group play?
A.An improvised scenario developed in rehearsal
B.A student-devised ensemble piece created in class
C.A published play script of dramatic merit
D.A television screenplay adapted without publication as a play
Explanation: External assessment requires published play text(s). Student-devised or improvised drama is not acceptable for the external ensemble performance, and musical theatre/TV/movie screenplays are not appropriate substitutes for published plays.
4What is the approximate total word count range required for the Independent Reflective Study (IRS)?
A.Any length provided photographs are attached
B.500 to 800 words focused only on the group play
C.4,000 to 5,000 words excluding quotations
D.2,000 to 3,000 words, including 500 to 1,000 words on the monologue
Explanation: The EAS requires an IRS of 2,000–3,000 words, with 500–1,000 of those words devoted to the monologue section. Quotations count toward the word limit, and work beyond a discretionary 10% overage may be disregarded.
5In what grammatical person and tense should the IRS be written?
A.First person and past tense, maintaining an academic tone
B.Third person and future tense as a proposal
C.Second person instructions to the marker
D.First person present tense diary notes without analysis
Explanation: TASC specifies that the IRS must be written in the first person and past tense while keeping an academic tone. The purpose is reflective appraisal of completed rehearsal and performance processes for Criterion 7.
6What is the minimum number of candidates required for a Theatre Performance external ensemble assessment?
A.One solo candidate
B.Three students
C.Two students in a duologue only
D.Ten students minimum
Explanation: Access requirements state a minimum of three learners is required for a provider to offer the course and for external examination purposes. Ensemble interactive work is central to assessed stagecraft and Criterion 4 evidence.
7Which hazard response best demonstrates work-safe practice in a theatre environment?
A.Ignoring a cable trip risk if the audience has not yet entered
B.Moving counterweights alone to clear the stage quickly before curtain
C.Promptly reporting trip hazards, electrical faults or spills to the stage manager or teacher
D.Testing unknown electrical props by plugging them in mid-show
Explanation: Course content requires learners to identify and appropriately react to potential hazards and apply work-safe principles, including prompt reporting of sharps, trips, electrical malfunctions and spills, and following stage-management safety directions.
8What backstage behaviour aligns with expected theatre etiquette during a public season?
A.Checking social media with phone light visible from stage
B.Giving unsolicited notes loudly to actors waiting in the wings
C.Borrowing another performer’s costume without asking
D.Remaining quiet, cue-ready and respectful of others’ props and space
Explanation: Stagecraft and etiquette expectations include being quiet backstage, ready for cues, respectful of personal property/costumes/props, and following stage manager and director directions so the performance can proceed safely and professionally.
9Why should the external monologue contrast the learner’s group-play character?
A.To demonstrate versatility across vocal, physical and contextual characterisation choices
B.To reuse the same accent and status for marking consistency
C.To shorten rehearsal by recycling blocking from the play
D.To avoid reading the full published play of the monologue source
Explanation: EAS advice defines contrast as variation in genre, status, accent/geographic context, historical context, motivation or age. Contrast supports Criterion 3 evidence of range and versatility as a performer.
10Which production element is part of Criterion 2 stagecraft assessment in polished performances?
A.Writing the IRS reference list only
B.Listening, spatial awareness, eye contact, cues and management of personal props/costume
C.Choosing the school timetable for exam day
D.Setting the statewide TASC award scale
Explanation: Criterion 2 assesses use of stagecraft and theatrical production elements, including interactive ensemble behaviours (listening, spatial awareness, eye contact, cue response) and practical management of props, costume and technical support within performance.
