is assigned. This scale applies to both knowledge and<br />

performance testing. These grades do not represent a<br />

percentage rather a placement on the scale. The following<br />

is the interpretation of the scale:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

90-100: Superior understanding/performance.<br />

Graduates in this category are able to perform quickly<br />

and efficiently with little or no supervision.<br />

80-89: Above average understanding/performance.<br />

Graduates are able to perform efficiently with little<br />

supervision.<br />

70-79: Acceptable understanding/performance.<br />

Graduates complete assignments with minor errors.<br />

Supervision is required.<br />

63-69: Minimally acceptable understanding/<br />

performance. Additional instruction is normally<br />

required along with close supervision.<br />

0-62: Inferior understanding/performance. Students<br />

are unable to meet standards.<br />

<br />

<br />

Minimum Passing Grade for a Course. There are no formulas<br />

for establishing cut-off points. A complex matter and<br />

should be reached only after careful consideration of<br />

acceptable understanding/performance and job performance<br />

criticality (potential damage to personnel or equipment).<br />

The grading scale is a guideline to determine the minimum<br />

passing grade for a course. A minimum passing grade may be<br />

justifiably lowered to meet immediate manpower needs if<br />

errors in performance are less critical than no performance<br />

at all. The minimum passing grade for a course is<br />

determined by the CCMM and approved in the testing plan.<br />

For "A" schools, the minimum grade is between 63 and 75.<br />

Minimum Passing Grade for a Knowledge Test. While the<br />

minimum passing grade for the course is based on the<br />

grading scale, the minimum passing grade for a test is<br />

determined by a panel of SMEs and is established after the<br />

test is designed, and test items are developed. The SMEs<br />

that determine the minimum passing grade for a test should<br />

be different from the SMEs that prepared the test design<br />

and developed the test items.<br />

<br />

The curriculum developer is responsible for test<br />

design and test item development, which occur during<br />

the development/revision project.<br />
