Direct linkHurtz, Gregory M.; Jones, J. Patrick; Jones, Christian N. – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2008
This study compares the efficacy of different strategies for translating item-level, proportion-correct standard-setting judgments into a theta-metric test cutoff score for use with item response theory (IRT) scoring, using Monte Carlo methods. Simulated Angoff-type ratings, consisting of 1,000 independent 75 Item x13 Rater matrices, were…

Like all applied fields, however, it is open to potential abuse by those who would use its results to support--or oppose--specific change programs. (BRR)

Garrido, Mariquita; Payne, David A. – 1987
Minimum competency cut-off scores on a statistics exam were estimated under four conditions: the Angoff judging method with item data (n=20), and without data available (n=19); and the Modified Angoff method with (n=19), and without (n=19) item data available to judges. The Angoff method required free response percentage estimates (0-100) percent,…
