Compromise Models for Establishing Examination Standards.

Gruijter, Dato N. M.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v22 n4 p262-69 Win 1985

To improve on cutoff scores based on absolute standards which may produce an unacceptable number of failures, a compromise is suggested. The compromise draws on the information in the observed score distribution to adjust the standard. Three compromise models developed by Hofstee, Beuk, and De Gruijter are compared. (Author/GDC)
