Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Norm-referenced tests compare an individual's performance to the performance of a group, resulting in a ranking or ordering of test takers. A criterion-referenced test measures a test taker's performance against a predetermined standard, and a standard-referenced test measures a test taker's performance against a specific set of standards. None of the answer choices fit the description of a test that yields information about a test taker's relative standing in a group except for norm-referenced.
