Pass points signify the most basic of decision points in a testing procedure. Pass points on employment tests are most frequently used to differentiate among those individuals who demonstrate possession of required job-related qualifications and those who do not. Topics of discussion in this course will include the legal requirements of pass point setting, the intended and inadvertent uses of pass points, and the background rationale of pass point use.
Participants will be introduced to the many considerations in setting effective pass points with an emphasis on the following:
- Job-relatedness
- Legal defensibility
- The utility of sound pass point setting practices
Through the use of hands-on activities and discussion, participants will be provided with a practical methodology and accompanying rationale for setting sound, legally defensible pass points.
