, PREFACE




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



multiple- choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it
as a s as as as as as as as as as



is a methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or
as as a s as as as as as as as as as as as as as



he has learned.
as as a s




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



provide the means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing
as a s as as as as as as as as as as as



the importance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—
as a s as as as as as as as as as as



the Nelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high
a s as as as as as as as as as as



quality test banks.
as as a s




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



a Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
s as as as as as as as as as as as as as



a choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
s as as as as as as as as as as as as



a training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing
s as as as as as as as as as as as



multiple- choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level
as a s as as as as as as as as as



thinking.
as




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



a Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using
s as as as as as as as as as as as as



Nelson test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
as a s as as as as as as as as as




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



for Canadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
as a s as as as as as as as as



a questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
s as as as as as as as as as as as as



a development of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA
s as as as as as as as as as as



a principles of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers,
s as as as as as as as as



guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that
as a s as as as as as as as as as as



accurately reflects student understanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions,
as as as a s as as as as as as as



including about 2822 multiple choice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and
as as as as a s as as as as as as as



about 164 short answer questions.
as as as as as




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



bank also employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the
as a s as as as as as as as as as as as as as as



measure of course outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test
as as a s as as as as as as as as as as as as as



bank. These tags include:
