How often is a quarterly assessment required?

How often is a quarterly assessment required?

• A. Every 12 months
• B. Every 3 months
• C. Every 6 months
• D. Every 4 years

Answer: (B)

Quarterly means four times a year, with about three months between each assessment. Since a year has 12 months, dividing by 4 gives 3 months per period, so it’s every 3 months (for example, if you start in January, the next ones are in April, July, and October). The other options correspond to yearly (every 12 months), semiannual (every 6 months), or quadrennial (every 4 years), which do not match the meaning of quarterly.
