The method of grading scores based on ranges is called "banding." It allows for consideration of candidates within a range rather than simply using exact scores. This can help to address any potential biases in the hiring process and provide opportunities for underrepresented groups. "Race norming" refers to a controversial practice of adjusting test scores based on race, which is not the same as banding. Desensitizing, generalizing, and modeling are not relevant to this method of evaluating test results.
