, PREFACE




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




ochoice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a
o o o o o o o o o o o




omethodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




olearned.

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




othe means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the
o o o o o o o o o o o o




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




oNelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality test
o o o o o o o o o o o o




obanks.

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




oFellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




ochoice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
o o o o o o o o o o o o




otraining in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
o o o o o o o o o o o o




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




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




oGetting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




otest banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
o o o o o o o o o




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




oCanadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
o o o o o o o o




oquestions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
o o o o o o o o o o o o




odevelopment of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA o o o o o o o o o o




oprinciples of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork,
o o o o o o o o o




oand unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student
o o o o o o o o o o o o o




ounderstanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions, including about 2822 multiple o o o o o o o o o o o




ochoice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and about 164 short answer questions.
o o o o o o o o o o o o




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




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




ocourse outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags
o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o




oinclude:
• ANS: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are provided for the short answer questions.)
o o o o o o o o o o o o




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




point. o
