, PREFACE
In most post-
ny ny
secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-
n y ny ny ny ny ny
choice reluctantly, believing that it is a methodology best used for testing what a student
ny ny ny ny ny ny n y ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
remembers rather than what she or he has learned. ny ny ny ny ny ny ny n y
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
choice test bank can provide the means to measure higher-
ny ny ny ny n y ny ny ny ny
level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of multiple-
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny n y ny ny
choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
the Nelson Education Teaching Advantage program—
n y ny ny ny ny
to ensure the value of our high quality test banks.

The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teachin
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
g Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multip
n y ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
le- choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-
n y ny ny ny ny ny
matter experts who author test banks have had training in two areas: avoiding common e
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny n y ny ny ny ny ny ny
rrors in test construction, and developing multiple-
ny ny ny ny ny ny
choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.
n y ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests:
ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
n Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nel
y ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny ny
son test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
