Abstract
The current study aimed to build a criterion-referenced test in measurement and evaluation and determine its cut-off score by several methods. The primary test form had 45 items, which a group of professors and measurement and evaluation experts reviewed; their comments and feedback were taken into account, and the final test form had 40 items. The test has been presented to 174 university students to examine its psychometric characteristics. Multiple statistical techniques were later performed using the SPSS program, and the results show that the discrimination and difficulty coefficients ranged from 0.36 to 0.82. Additionally, the test reliability was calculated using the Kuder-Richardson -20 and Spilt half statistical methods, and the concurrent validity was 0.76. The results showed that the value of the Kuder-Richardson -20 method was 0.81, while the value of the Spilt-Half method was 0.79. Finally, the cut-off score has been calculated using four methods, and the results indicate that the Angoff method value was 65%, the Nedelsky method was 64%, the contrasting groups’ method was 68%, and the criterion groups’ method was 62%. Keywords: criterion-referenced test, measurement, and evaluation, university student, the cut-off score. DOI: 10.7176/JEP/14-1-06 Publication date: January 31 st 2023
