Passing score. If it is appropriate for the context of the test, there will be a passing score. There are no convincing arguments for any one cutoff score; rather, the content, context, and type of student will determine the passing level. It will also depend on your intentions for the test. A mastery test will require a very high pass mark, while an ordinary quiz or classroom test is likely to be less stringent. Sometimes a test may have no passing grade at all, as when its intention is to locate areas of weakness rather than to categorize or grade students.  4, record 1, English, - pass%20mark

Le but d'un test est souvent de permettre un pronostic relativement à un critère, un critère de réussite professionnelle par exemple. La valeur du test est alors mesurée par le coefficient de corrélation entre le test et le critère. Ce coefficient s'appelle coefficient de validité.  2, record 2, French, - coefficient%20de%20validit%C3%A9

A test, in written or practical form, designed to measure terminal behaviour and thereby discover to what degree the student/trainee demonstrates the criterion behaviour. It can also be given as a pre-test to identify individuals who need the training, and/or a post-test to measure the effectiveness of the program by comparing the pre-test and post-test scores.  2, record 6, English, - criterion%20test

for "concurrent validation" : The expression "concurrent validation" should not be used as a synonym of "concurrent validity" even though some authors tend to do so. "Concurrent validation" is the process used to determine the degree of "concurrent validity" of a test. "Concurrent validity" is a property or quality that a test must have and which is obtained by the process of validation.  3, record 7, English, - concurrent%20validity

Internal consistency.... Sometimes an adaptation of the contrasted group method is used, extreme groups being selected on the basis of the total test score. The performance of the upper criterion group on each test item is then compared with that of the lower criterion group. Items that fail to show a significantly greater proportion of "passes" in the upper than in the lower criterion group are considered invalid... Another application of the criterion of internal consistency involves the correlation of subtest scores with total score.  1, record 8, English, - internal%20consistency

Consistance interne. La technique de validation est alors la suivante: on constitue deux sous-groupes de sujets, le premier formé des sujets qui ont les notes les meilleures, le second par ceux qui ont les notes les plus basses. En examinant les résultats des deux groupes à chaque item, on retient comme items valides ceux qui présentent une corrélation suffisamment élevée avec la note idéale au test.  1, record 8, French, - consistance%20interne
