Criterion-Referenced Test

A criterion-referenced test evaluates a person's performance based on a set standard or specific learning goal, rather than comparing them to others. It measures whether you have achieved particular skills or knowledge, such as passing a driving exam or mastering a math concept. The focus is on determining if you meet predefined criteria, not on how you perform relative to peers. This type of testing helps assess individual progress and understanding in relation to specific objectives.
