A cut score event is necessary for establishing a baseline minimal passing raw score for an exam when one of the following conditions occurs:
a. When there are significant changes to the exam content outline
b. When there has been a significant shift in the exams body of knowledge resulting in more than 10% of new question content
c. When a combination of statistical anomalies occur through periodic psychometric reviews
d. When launching a new certification exam product
The cut score event is performed with a group of 1215 individuals that demographically mirror the types of candidates who are likely to take the exam. To participate
in the event, individuals must have the certification represented by the exam and be current in their certification. In addition, the group should be evenly balanced
among the following demographics:
a. Varied professional experience from less than 5 years to over 25 years
b. Individuals with English as a second language for an international perspective
c. Instructors
d. A variety of industry vertical representation, such as manufacturing, healthcare, service
e. Up to two Certification Exam Committee members
f. PhD Psychometrician facilitator
Two best practice psychometric approaches are used to derive the raw passing score: the modified Angoff method and the Hofstee approach. The Angoff method
specifically addresses the issue of borderline performance by requiring participants to retake the exam and estimate the performance of a minimally successful
candidate on each question of the test form. The Hofstee approach requires participants to provide their input on a number of parameters for the exam, including the
minimum and maximum acceptable percentage of passing candidates, and the minimum and maximum acceptable percentage of items that should be required to pass
the exam. The results of both approaches are combined to provide a recommended score range from which the Certification Committee ratifies the final passing score.
