Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A comparison based on a specific content area is an example of criterion-referenced testing, which measures a student's performance against a predetermined standard (criteria) rather than against the performance of other students (norm-referenced testing) or a prediction of future performance (predictive-referenced testing). Concurrent-referenced testing is not a type of testing.
