Abstract

Determining a Hofstee cut-off point in medical education student assessment is problematic: traditional methods can be time-consuming, inaccurate, and inflexible. To counter this, we developed a simple Android app that receives raw, unsorted student assessment data in .csv format, allows for multiple judges' inputs, mean or median inputs, calculates the Hofstee cut-off mathematically, and outputs the results with other guiding information. The app contains a detailed description of its functionality.
