9. Norm-referenced evaluation is?

A non-competitive evaluation B competitive evaluation

10. For gaining efficiency in math concepts, we need _____.

A. Norm-criteria evaluation B. Criterion-referenced evaluation C. Norm-

referenced evaluation

II. Instructions: Study the situations below then decide which grading system is applied,
whether norm-referenced or criterion-referenced.

A. In Mr. Ramiento’s class, in order for a student to successfully demonstrate his

knowledge of the math concepts discussed, he must answer at least 80% of the
test questions correctly. The child earned an 85% on his last fractions test;
therefore, he demonstrated knowledge of the subject area and passed.

B. Madame Murtira looked at her child’s raw score on a recent math assessment.
Looking at the chart, she saw that her child’s raw score of 56 places him at an 8 th
grade level.
________________
C. Assignment of letter grades is accomplished by comparing the students’
performance to the learning objectives. The teacher decides what scores will
constitute each letter grade. The decision is based on the coverage of the test
and the difficulty of the questions.
_________________
D. The class sets the standard to which the individual will be compared. The
students who get the highest total points at the end of the course will get A’s,
even if they only successfully complete half of the learning objectives.
_________________
E. Test takers receive a score that compares them to others that have taken the
test, usually given by a percentile. There is a wide range of acceptable scores,
and the goal is to find out who performs better.

F. An IQ test has been administered to see which test taker is more intelligent than
the others test takers. The median IQ is set to 100, and all test takers are ranked
up or down in comparison to that level.

G. An English teacher has administered a 100-item test in order to determine
whether or not the students perform well or poorly in the subject. Students must
answer at least 75 items to get a passing grade.
