Abstract
The purpose of this
article is to review critically the Angoff (1971) and modified
Angoff methods for setting cut-scores. The criteria used in this
review were originally proposed by Berk (1986). The assumptions
of the Angoff method and other current issues surrounding this
method are also discussed. Recommendations are made for using
the Angoff method. In addition, several issues that are relevant
to cut-score setting that are not addressed by Berk's criteria
arose while reviewing the Angoff method. These issues are addressed
separately.
