, PREFACE




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




vchoice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a
v v v v v v v v v v v




vmethodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vlearned.

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




vthe means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




of multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the Nelson Education
v v v v v v v v v v v v




Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality test banks.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




vFellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vchoice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
v v v v v v v v v v v v




vtraining in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
v v v v v v v v v v v v




vchoice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.
v v v v v v v v v v




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




vGetting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
v v v v v v v v v




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




vCanadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
v v v v v v v v




vquestions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
v v v v v v v v v v v v




vdevelopment of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA v v v v v v v v v v




vprinciples of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork,
v v v v v v v v v




vand unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vunderstanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions, including about 2822 multiple v v v v v v v v v v v




vchoice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and about 164 short answer questions.
v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




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




vcourse outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




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




point. v
