cutoff score
Minimum qualifying mark
A cutoff score is a threshold on a test or assessment that divides passing from failing, or qualifies candidates for the next stage: Applicants needed a cutoff score of 70 to advance.
Cutoff scores are set by institutions for admissions, hiring, or certification—often somewhat arbitrary lines drawn through continuous distributions of ability.
