Thinking on the edge: the influence of discussion and statistical data on awarders’ perceptions of borderline candidates in an Angoff awarding meeting

Pages 74-100 | Published online: 17 Dec 2014
 

Abstract

The Angoff method is a widely used procedure for setting pass scores in vocational examinations, in which the awarders estimate the performance of minimally competent candidates (MCCs) on each test item. Within the context of some UK vocational examinations, the procedure consists of two stages: after making the first round of estimates, awarders make final decisions after discussion and after receiving statistical data about candidate performance.
