the group. The high and low performance of a student is very
dependent on the condition of the group’s performance. In other

determine the student’s ability compared to the criteria made in
advance. In this method, there is no comparison with other students;
instead, the basis of comparison is a predetermined standard of
performance (McMillan, 2018). The criterion-referenced approach
