, PREFACE




In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on
multiple- choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a
methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has
learned.

Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide
the means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the
importance of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the
Nelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality test
banks.
