In this technical report, we document the results of a cross-validation study designed to identify optimal cut-scores for the use of the easyCBM[R] mathematics test in Oregon. A large sample, randomly split into two groups of roughly equal size, was used for this study. Students' performance classification on the Oregon state test was used as the criterion. Optimal cut scores were examined for each group. Results indicate quite stable cut scores across groups. Further, the overall area under the ROC curve (AUC) was not statistically different between groups for any measurement occasion at any grade, providing strong evidence of the validity of the cut scores as optimal to predict student performance on the Oregon statewide large-scale assessment. (Contains 2 tables.)
