A teacher wants to make her test harder. Which adjustment will increase item difficulty most effectively?
Add long stems
Use fewer options
Use simpler sentences
Use homogeneous distractors
A test item's stem ends with "an" before the blank, giving away the correct answer. What should the teacher do?
Add another clue
Remove the article
Make a longer stem
Change to recognition type
When creating a multiple-choice question, why should all options be grammatically consistent with the stem?
To make scoring faster
To allow for longer stems
To reduce reading difficulty
To prevent grammatical clues
A teacher made a test where every question follows the same sequence as in the textbook. Why is this discouraged?
It promotes guessing
It confuses the learner
It makes scoring difficult
It tests only memorization
A teacher wanted to test deeper reasoning rather than recognition. Which objective type is most appropriate?
Identification
Matching type
Multiple-choice
True or false
A test includes “few,” “many,” and “great” in several items. What is the danger in such wording?
They make sentences too long
They are grammatically incorrect
They make statements appear false
These words are vague and indefinite
Which improvement best reduces rote memorization in recall-type tests?
Using longer blanks
Using trick questions
Using direct questions
Using textbook language
A student noticed that one test item gave hints about the answer to another question. Which rule was violated?
Avoid multiple blanks
Avoid negative phrasing
Avoid ambiguous words
Avoid clueing between items
The teacher used “None of the above” even when one option was already correct. What should have been done?
Keep it for balance
Use it only for recall
Add “All of the above”
Remove “None of the above”
A teacher uses the following item: “Which of the following are planets?” What issue might arise?
The stem is too long
Choices are too homogeneous
Options are arranged incorrectly
Partial knowledge may lead to correct guessing
Which guideline ensures scoring consistency in completion tests?
Use unequal weights
Use longer sentences
Include fractional scores
Allow one point per blank
Why should blanks in recall-type tests be placed in the right column?
To emphasize long answers
To confuse test-wise students
To make the test more creative
To facilitate scoring and reading
