, PREFACE




In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on
h h h h h h h h h h h h


hmultiple- choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is
h h h h h h h h h h h


ha methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


hhas learned. h




Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide
h h h h h h h h h h h h


hthe means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the
h h h h h h h h h h h h


himportance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the
h h h h h h h h h h


hNelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality
h h h h h h h h h h h


test banks.
h h




The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


hFellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


hchoice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
h h h h h h h h h h h h


htraining in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
h h h h h h h h h h h h


hchoice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.
h h h h h h h h h h




All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests:
h h h h h h h h h h h h


hGetting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


htest banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
h h h h h h h h h




The Test Bank for Principles of Macroeconomics, Sixth Canadian Edition has been revised for
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


hCanadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
h h h h h h h h


hquestions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
h h h h h h h h h h h h


hdevelopment of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA
h h h h h h h h h h


hprinciples of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork,
h h h h h h h h h


hand unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects
h h h h h h h h h h h h


student understanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions, including about 2822
h h h h h h h h h h h h


multiple choice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and about 164 short answer
h h h h h h h h h h h h h


questions.
h




In addition to providing a variety of questions related to each chapter objective, this test bank
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


h also employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the measure
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


hof course outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These
h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h


htags include: h


 ANS: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are provided for the short answer
h h h h h h h h h h h


questions.)
