Example Of A Norm Standardized Assessment In Education

- A norm referenced assessment makes judgments about people, on the basis of sources and distributions of scores. For instance, the top 10 percent of the class are awarded first class and the next 15 percent are awarded second class.
- A norm referenced assessment has been the most common type of assessment used in education.
- Though norm referenced assessment is very common, but does not give accurate and exact assessment. For example, a student who fails in one year may well have passed in others. Similarly getting higher grades does not mean higher capabilities.
