Which of the following is NOT correct about the Criterion-Referenced Testing?
Testing the relative position of an individual within a group is the hallmark of norm-referenced testing, not criterion-referenced testing, so that statement is not correct about it.
Criterion-referenced testing is also called domain-referenced testing, since it checks mastery of a defined domain.
It is also called objective-referenced testing, as performance is measured against fixed objectives.
Its principal use is in mastery tests, judging whether a set standard has been reached.
It compares a learner to an absolute standard rather than to peers.
Norm-referenced testing, by contrast, ranks a learner against the group, as pioneered in standardised testing traditions.
