Standard-setting methodology: Establishing performance standards and setting cut-scores to assist score interpretation

Abstract: A critical step in the development and use of tests of physical fitness for employment purposes (e.g., fitness for duty) is to establish 1 or more cut points, dividing the test score range into 2 or more ordered categories reflecting, for example, fail/pass decisions. Over the last 3 decades elaborated theories and methods have evolved focusing on the process of establishing 1 or more cut-scores on a test. This elaborated process is widely referred to as "standard-setting". As such, the validity of the test sc… Show more

“…This requirement ultimately determines the final pass/fail criteria for a PES (Tipton et al 2013;Zumbo 2016). Therefore, how MPSs are identified and justified provides the foundation upon which all subsequent assessments of validity are made, and thereby determines the defensibility of a PES.…”

“…Kane (1994) distinguished the cut-score (which he refers to as a "passing score"), as a point on the test score scale, from the performance standard, which is the minimally adequate level of performance for some purpose (Zumbo 2016). This section will focus on the validity of setting MPS.…”
