Criterion‐reference as opposed to norm‐reference applies to the scores from a test and not to the content or format of a test, hence it is proper to refer to criterion‐referenced scores or measures and not to criterion‐referenced tests. This concept of criterion‐referenced measures is applicable to formative evaluation generally or whenever the objective is mastery of subject matter rather than discrimination among students.
