Standard Setting

Setting Pass Scores

One of the more politically charged questions is "what is good enough?"   Standard setting is about answering this question.  There are numerous methods, and each has its tradeoffs.  This session explains and compares the more frequently used methods based on expert conjecture and performance data.

This workshop is part of the Psychometric Mini Series.   Other topics in the series are: Psychometric Basics, Controlling Error, Item Analysis, Analyzing Quantitative Data, and Analyzing Qualitative Data.

Objectives:  You will be able to:

1. Explain the difference between conjecture and data-based methods.
2. Compare the processes for setting standards and pass scores
