Frequently Asked Questions and Answers Who develops cut-off scores for the mathematics placement test we have chosen? How often should these cut-off scores be reviewed and changed, if necessary? Working with the mathematics faculty, the test administrator develops the initial cut-off scores. Then, the administrator gathers data on students placed in the courses and modifies the cut-off scores based on this data. Data should be gathered and studied whenever student performance in courses differs greatly from the expected performance.
