Licensure, credentialling and academic institutions are seeking new innovative approaches to the assessment of professional competence. Central to these recent initiatives is the need to determine standards of performance, which separated the competent from the non-competent candidate. The goal of this study is to introduce the criterion referenced standard-setting methods to medical Schools. The authors used Angoff and Jaeger method, which are the simplest absolute standard setting methods. In this study, the cut-off score estimated by Jaeger method was higher than that of Angoff method.
