Cut scores determination is the process of establishing the minimum score required to classify students into performance levels, such as proficient, advanced, or below standard. In educational measurement, these decisions influence assessment results, instruction, certification, and accountability.
Because cut scores can affect students and institutions significantly, they must be set through systematic, evidence-based procedures. The process considers test content, performance expectations, expert judgment, and the intended interpretation of assessment results.
