A Task-based Approach to External Validation in Standard Setting Research

• In Event: Performance Levels and Standard Setting

Abstract

Overlapping Task Type Performance is a novel source of external validity evidence for cut scores on newly (re)designed tests that share some task types with an existing test that already has operational data and established cut scores. Methodology, a successful implementation, and potential applications for personalized assessments will be shared.
