     True-False
    Multiple Choice Tests
     Each item in a multiple choice test consists of
    two parts:
    a. the stem
    b. the options
     In the set of options, there is a "correct" or "best"
    option while all the others are considered
    "distracters".
    Note:
    The distracters are chosen in such a way that they
    are attractive to those who do not know the
    answer or are guessing at the same time, have no
    appeal to those who actually know the answer.

    Guidelines for Constructing
    Multiple Choice Items
    1. Do not use unfamiliar words, terms and
    phrases.
    2. Do not use modifiers that are vague and
    whose meanings can differ from one person
    to the next such as much, often, usually, etc.
    3. Do not use negatives or double negatives as
    such statements tend to be confusing.
    4. Each item stem should be as short as
    possible.
    5. Distracters should be equally plausible and
    attractive.
    10/31/2019
    6. All multiple choice options should be
    grammatically consistent with the stem.
    7. Avoid stems that reveal the answer to
    another item.
    8. Use the "None of the above" option only
    when the keyed answer is totally correct.
    (When the choice of the best response is
    intended, "none of the above" is not
    appropriate.
    9. Note that use of "All of the above" may allow
    credit for partial knowledge. If a student only
    knew that two options were correct, he could
    then deduce the correctness of "all of the
    above".
    10/31/2019
    True or False Test
     Binomial-choice tests are test that have only two
    (2) options such as
    true or false
    right or wrong
    good or better
     A student who knows nothing of the content of
    the examination would have 50% chance of
    getting the correct answer by sheer guess work.
     A modified true-false test can offset the effect of
    guessing by requiring students to explain their
    answer and to disregard a correct answer if the
    explanation is incorrect.
    10/31/2019
    Guidelines in Constructing
    True-False Test
    1. Do not give a hint in the body of the question.
    2. Avoid using the words "always", "never", "often"
    and other adverbs that tend to be either always
    true or false.
    3. Avoid long sentences as these tend to be "true".
    4. Avoide quoting verbatim from reference
    materials or textbooks.
    5. With true or false questions, avoid a grossly
    disproportionate number of either true or false
    statements or even patterns in the occurence of
    true and false statements.
