Possibility of using the yes/no Angoff method as a substitute for the percent Angoff method for estimating the cutoff score of the Korean Medical Licensing Examination: a simulation study

This study aimed to compare the cutoff score and the reliability depending on whether the PA or the YNA standard-setting method was used in the KMLE. The materials were the open-access PA data of the KMLE. The PA data were converted to YNA data in 5 categories, in which the probabilities for a “yes” decision by panelists were 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%.

本研究旨在对比在KMLE中采用PA标准设定法（PA）与YNA标准设定法（YNA）时的合格分数线与信度。本研究所用材料为KMLE的公开可获取PA数据集。将PA数据集划分为5个类别并转换为YNA数据集，各分类下评审委员作出“是”决策的概率分别为50%、60%、70%、80%与90%。
