Use a scientific, data-driven approach to decide what a test should cover; survey job incumbents and statistically transform into blueprints
Train subject matter experts (SMEs) in how to write fair, effective test questions, and implement a quality assurance process
It is not defensible just pick a nice round cutscore like 70%. You need a scientific, data-driven approach to this.
There are several quantitative steps, including Equating, Test Assembly, and Psychometric Reports.
The validity of a test score is supported, in a large part, by appropriate use of the test development cycle, the strength of the connections between the different steps of the cycle, and your documentation of the process. We tailor both our consulting services and software platforms around helping you implement these industry standards.
