Norm-referenced testNorm-referenced tests have standardized, formalprocedures for administering, timing and scoring.

They have been "normed" or administered to a

representative sample of similar age or grade

level students so that final test results can be

compared to students of similar characteristics.

Test results indicate a person's relative

performance in the group. These standardizedtests must be administered as specified in the

manual to ensure valid and reliable results.

Criterion-referenced tests

Criterion-referenced tests (CRT) measure whatthe person is able to do and indicate what skillshave been mastered. CRT compare a person'sperformance with his or her own pastperformance. An example is the number ofspelling words correct. If Molly spells 15 of 20words correct, that is 75% correct, higher thanthe past week when her score was 60% correct.

In criterion-referenced measurement, theemphasis is on assessing specific and relevantbehaviors that have been mastered rather thanindicating the relative standing in the group.
