Abstract
The words ‘strength of performance’ are often used in discussing schemes of examination assessment. However, they are seldom defined further. Here we contrast and compare two distinct notions of strength of performance, the relative and the absolute. Both notions are discussed in terms of a multi‐attribute value theoretic (additive conjoint) approach to examination assessment.
