A norm group is a group of individuals who take a test under standardized conditions and whose scores serve as a "benchmark" against which other individuals' scores can be compared. Norm groups are typically described in the test manual, and they usually consist of individuals who are similar to the individuals for whom the test is intended (e.g., same age, gender, educational background, etc.).
