Criterion-referenced tests assess one's performance in comparison to some standard or set criteria, such as a specific set of skills or knowledge. This is different from norm-referenced tests, which assess one's performance in comparison to other individuals who have taken the same test. Criterion-referenced tests can be more useful for assessing mastery of a particular subject or skill, as they focus on the individual's abilities and knowledge rather than their performance in relation to others.
