Norm-Referenced vs Criterion-Referenced Assessment | Praxis 5331 + 5 Questions

How do you know whether a score is being interpreted against a norming group or against a defined performance criterion? In this SLP Study Center lesson, we make that distinction practical for Praxis 5331 preparation. You’ll learn: what norm-referenced and criterion-referenced evidence each compares with; why “standardized” is the umbrella, not the answer; how percentiles and cut scores answer different questions; how to identify the decisive clue in a clinical or classroom stem; five original practice questions with answer reasoning and distractor analysis. This lesson covers a slice of Praxis 5331 Category II: Screening, Assessment, Evaluation, and Diagnosis. It is original study content, not official ETS or ASHA exam content, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either organization.
