NOTE PASSAGE [5 records]

Record 1 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Examinations and Competitions (Education)
  • Psychometry and Psychotechnology
DEF

a score that divides those individuals earning scores above and below it into two groups with reference to some purpose or criterion.

DEF

Cut-off point between failure and success in an examination or test.

CONT

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.
