Peer reviewedChang, Lei; And Others – Applied Measurement in Education, 1996
The influence of judges' knowledge on standard setting for competency tests was studied with 17 judges who took an economics teacher certification test while setting competency standards using the Angoff procedure. Judges tended to set higher standards for items they answered correctly and lower standards for items they answered incorrectly. (SLD)

Peer reviewedJaeger, Richard M. – Applied Measurement in Education, 1988

Effects on test standards and passing rates of removing test standards of these judges were also assessed. (TJH)
