Guidelines require that cut scores established for certification assessments or assessments being used to hire incoming employees or promote existing employees must bear an empirical and logical relationship to the technical area. When a cut score is used to determine those individuals who are qualified or unqualified, the certifying body must give sufficient proof that the cut score was not established in a capricious or arbitrary manner. Nocti Business Solutions can assist a company or organization in determining a legally defensible cut score on one of our standard assessments or an assessment being uploaded into our online delivery system. Customized assessments developed by Nocti Business Solutions always go through a process to determine the cut score.
