Standards are expressed in a cut score but can also be non-quantitative e.g. by providing an exemplar of acceptable performance. Standards can be absolute or relative and can be used in either criterion referenced or norm referenced contexts( Mathison:2005). A standard need not be a single level of performance but may involve multiple levels of performance such as excellent, acceptable, unacceptable.<ref>Mathison, Sandra.
