Inmostpost-secondarycourses,alargepercentageofstudentassessmentisbasedonmultiple- choice
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




testing. Manyinstructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a methodologybest used
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has learned.
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good qualitymultiple-choice test bank can provide the
i i i i i i i i i i i i i




means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




multiple-choice testing in today‘s classroom, we have created NETA—the NelsonEducation
i i i i i i i i i i i




TeachingAdvantageprogram—toensurethevalueofour highqualitytest banks.
i i i i i i i i i i i i




TheNETAprogramwascreatedinpartnershipwithDavidDiBattista,a3MNationalTeaching Fellow,
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




professor of psychologyat Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple- choice testing.
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had training in two areas:
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple- choice test questions that ―get
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




beyond remembering‖ to assess higher-level thinking.
i i i i i i




AllNETAtestbanksincludeDavidDiBattista‘s guideforinstructors,―Multiple ChoiceTests:
i i i i i i i i i i i i




Getting Beyond Remembering.‖ This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test banks
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.

TheTestBankforPrinciplesofMacroeconomics, SixthCanadianEditionhasbeenrevisedfor
i i i i i i i i i i i i i




Canadian students byConstantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice questions
i i i i i i i i i i




were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the development of
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA principles of question
i i i i i i i i i i i i




construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-
i i i i i i i i i i i i




savvy students, resulting in a test that accuratelyreflects student understanding. The Test Bank offers
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




over 3510 questions, including about 2822 multiple choice, about 362 true/false, about 162
i i i i i i i i i i i i i




problems, and about 164 short answer questions.

In additiontoprovidingavarietyofquestionsrelatedtoeach chapterobjective,thistestbank also
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests bythe measure of course
i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i




outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags include:
