Preferred term

multiple-choice tests  

Definition

  • Multiple-choice tests have perhaps the most popular testing format in education and elsewhere, and students are certainly aware of multiple-choice items. Multiple-choice test items begin with the problem typically expressed as an incomplete statement or question (also known as the stem) followed by alternatives from which to select (the options).
