, PREFACE
In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mchoice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a
m m m m m m m m m m m
mmethodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mlearned.
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mthe means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mimportance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the
m m m m m m m m m m
mNelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality test
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mbanks.
The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mFellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mchoice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mtraining in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mchoice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.
m m m m m m m m m m
All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests:
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mGetting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mtest banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.

The Test Bank for Principles of Macroeconomics, Sixth Canadian Edition has been revised for
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mCanadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
m m m m m m m m
mquestions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
m m m m m m m m m m m m
mdevelopment of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA
m m m m m m m m m m
mprinciples of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork,
m m m m m m m m m
mand unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects
m m m m m m m m m m m m
student understanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions, including about 2822
m m m m m m m m m m m m
multiple choice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and about 164 short answer
m m m m m m m m m m m m m
questions.

In addition to providing a variety of questions related to each chapter objective, this test bank
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
m also employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the measure of
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
mcourse outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m
minclude:
ANS: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are provided for the short answer questions.)

PTS: The number of points an instructor can assign for each question. The default is 1
