What is norms-referenced
grading?
 Definition:
In norm-referenced systems students
are evaluated in relationship to one
another (The top 10% of students
receive an A, the next 30% a B, etc.).
This grading system rests on the
assumption that the level of student
performance will not vary much from
class to class.
Norm Referenced interpretation

 You vs.others
 Your score cpmpared to other students
who take the same test
 Results in interpreted by comparing one
students with another student s who
take the same test
 The quality of achievement is
determined by the distance of his score
frome the mean or average
 This is used todiscribe RELATIVE PLACEMENT
of scores such as:

1st, 2nd, 3rd and top 1, top 2, top 3 and etc.

 What is your rank after all the scores are

aranged from hithest to lowest?
 Your performance is always RELATIVE to the
group even if you are the highest or lowest
 Examples:

• Valedictorian
• Salutatorian
• Winner
• Highest
• Lowest
• Best
• smaller
• Shorter
 Keywords:

• Rangking
• Ordering
• Argument
• Grading on the curve and
percentile rangking
 Usualy it makes use of
comparable statements or
superlative statements
