- Summary:
-
Two- and three-category versions of Nedelsky's procedure for setting minimum passing scores, based on item content, were compared. Graduate students acting as judges classified the response options on their midterm into two categories: (1) those which should be rejected as incorrect by a minimally performing (B average) student; and (2) those which should not. Another group of classmates was also allowed to categorize options as undecided. Comparisons of the resulting sets of passing scores were made on the basis of (1) the raw distributions of passing scores; (2) the consistency of pass-fail decisions between the two versions; and (3) the consistency of pass-fail decisions between each version and the passing score established by the test designer. The two versions produced essentially equivalent results. There was, in addition, a significant relationship between the passing score set by a judge and that judge's level of achievement on the midterm. (Author/CP)
