Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Criterion-Referenced Testing evaluates performance against a fixed set of criteria or standards, rather than comparing individuals to one another. Testing the relative position of an individual within a group is the definition of Norm-Referenced Testing. Therefore, any statement claiming Criterion-Referenced Testing measures relative standing is NOT correct.
