This paper explains the concept of standard setting and the different methods used in determining the cut-off points of several examinations for certifying or licensing a candidate with an emphasis on Angoff Method. The standard setting methods are useful tools for making informed judgments. No single method for standard setting is suitable for standard setting in different situations; each method works best with a particular item type, and thus matching the test format to an appropriate method helps to determine which standard setting method will be used? The most popular method is the Modified Angoff method, which is typically used to set standards for tests with primarily multiple-choice or dichotomous items, does not truly include open ended questions. The Body of Work, on the other hand, has an edge of being more effectively used for open ended task, but it deals with a fewer dichotomous items. There is a need for further research in the consistency and replication of results by using different subjects, judges and situations. The findings may be beneficial for the Higher Education Commission Pakistan to introduce criterion-referenced standard setting in the higher education institutions in its various programmes.
