Abstract

The article discusses the Item Response Theory (IRT)-Angoff method in medical education to identify the pass mark. Topics covered include the Angoff method rating's alignment with the empirical data derived from IRT analysis, and IRT models' facilitation of understanding item difficulty and student ability. Also noted is the combined IRT-Angoff's provision of a more robust understanding of what the pass-fail boundary should be.
