Discussion
Which of the following statements is/are true about the criterion referenced test ?
(I) It makes the comparative evaluation of individual's performance with the predetermined standard.
(II) It compares individual's performance with normative performance.
Answer: A
Only statement (I) is true, so the answer is (I) only.
A criterion-referenced test evaluates a person's performance against a predetermined standard or criterion, such as mastery of specified skills or a cut-off score for passing a driving test. What matters is whether the person reaches the standard, not how others performed (I).
Statement (II) describes a norm-referenced test, which interprets an individual's score by comparing it with the performance of a normative group, for example as a percentile. That is the opposite approach, so options including (II) are wrong.
