The authors determined the reliability and validity of domain-referenced scores obtained from a multiple-station clinical skills examination administered at the University of Toronto to a group of foreign medical graduates in early 1990. Issues associated with the identification of essential checklist items and the setting of minimum passing scores (cutting scores) for each station and for the total test were addressed. In addition, they examined the consistency of classification of candidates and the perceived appropriateness of the number of candidates classified "competent." The findings provide evidence of the validity of standard-setting procedures based on both the performance of criterion groups and the judgment of "experts."
作者们确定了1990年初在多伦多大学对一群外国医学毕业生进行的多站式临床技能考试所获得的领域参照分数的可靠性和有效性。探讨了与确定基本检查清单项目以及为每个站点和整个考试设定最低及格分数（划界分数）相关的问题。此外，他们还研究了考生分类的一致性以及被归为“合格”的考生人数的感知适宜性。研究结果为基于标准组表现和“专家”判断的标准设定程序的有效性提供了证据。
