How is performance on the PELLETB usually benchmarked?

Performance on the PELLETB is benchmarked against established criteria derived from successful candidates in the field. This approach ensures that the test measures not only knowledge and skills but also the competencies that are necessary for success in law enforcement. By base-lining performance criteria on those who have proven successful in actual law enforcement roles, the test is designed to predict how well future candidates might perform in similar situations, ensuring that the standards reflect real-world requirements and expectations.

The focus on established criteria emphasizes the importance of relevant experience and effective performance, making the assessment more applicable and aligned with the job's demands. This data-driven approach lends validity to the test, ensuring that it selects candidates who are most likely to succeed in law enforcement roles.
