, 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.

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

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