Setting Passing Scores on Competency Tests.
Berk, Ronald A.
NASSP Bulletin, v71 n496 p69-76 Feb 1987
Reviews a dozen basic questions about passing scores on state-mandated competency testing programs for students, teachers, administrators, and other education personnel. Condemns the "cardiac" approach (or traditonal 80 percent standard) in favor of procedures that systematically incorporate judgment with a variety of performance data. Includes 14 references. (MLH)
