06. What should I take into account to define cutoff points?

To define cutoff limits, it is important to take into account two factors:

• The averages of the general population in each of the indicators
•  The number of candidates

If we have a larger number of candidates, the cutoff point may be higher. If we have a smaller number of candidates, the cutoff point may be lower. Once the cutoff limit is defined, it`s important to observe if the candidate has results that supersede the cutoff threshold.
