Let's say that Alejandra takes all of the test items on a given measure and orders them from easiest to hardest. Next, the SMEs work their way through the items starting at the easiest and evaluating whether the item is equal to or above a given response probability (e.g., 70%) for the minimally competent person or below that standard. All of the early easy items should be above, so when the SME reaches the item that splits those items equal to or above the response probability and those below the response probability, they place a marker to create the cutoff score. Thus, Alejndra must be using the _______ method to set cutoff scores.
