Norming

Norming involves establishing reference scores, or norms, for an assessment by administering the test to a large, representative population. This process collects data on performance across different groups, such as age brackets, which serve as a baseline for interpreting future scores and demonstrating what a specific group actually knows rather than a prescribed expectation.
