, PREFACE




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




multiple- choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it
E E E E E E E E E E E




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




he has learned.
E E E




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




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




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




the Nelson Education Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high
E E E E E E E E E E E




quality test banks.
E E E




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




Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E




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




training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing
E E E E E E E E E E E E




multiple- choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level
E E E E E E E E E E E




thinking.
E




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




Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E




test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
E E E E E E E E E E




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




for Canadian students by Constantin Colonescu, MacEwan University. The multiple-choice
E E E E E E E E E E




questions were written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the
E E E E E E E E E E E E E




development of higher-order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA
E E E E E E E E E E E




principles of question construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers,
E E E E E E E E E




guesswork, and unconscious cues to test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately
E E E E E E E E E E E E E




reflects student understanding. The Test Bank offers over 3510 questions, including
E E E E E E E E E E E




about 2822 multiple choice, about 362 true/false, about 162 problems, and about 164
E E E E E E E E E E E E E




short answer questions.
E E E




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




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




measure of course outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E




bank. These tags include:
E E E E




 ANS: The correct answer. (Suggested answers are provided for the short answer questions.)
E E E E E E E E E E E E




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




1 point.E E
