If Alisha asks Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to examine each multiple-choice question and decide which alternatives a minimally competent person (MCP) could eliminate (e.g., option D really is not feasible). As a result, for a four-option (one correct response and three distracters) multiple-choice question, the only values possible are 25% if no distracters can be eliminated, 33% if one distracter can be eliminated, 50% if two distracters can be eliminated, or 100% if all three distracters can be eliminated. Again, these ratings (or judgments) are averaged across all SMEs for each question and then summed across items in order to set the pass point. Then Alisha must be using the _______ method to set cutoff scores.

The method described involves Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) evaluating each multiple-choice question to determine which options a minimally competent person could eliminate, which aligns with the Nedelsky method for setting cutoff scores. This method is specifically designed for multiple-choice questions and involves the judgment of SMEs on the eliminability of distractors.
