Norm-Referenced Test
A norm-referenced test is like a "ranking system" that compares how well you did compared to others who took the same test. Instead of measuring whether you met a specific standard, it shows where you stand in relation to a group—like being in the top 10% or average. Examples include college entrance exams like the SAT or IQ tests. In short, it’s about answering the question: How do you compare to others? rather than Did you meet the goal?
