Nonrestricted Multiple-Choice Examination Items.

Kolstad, Rosemarie; And Others

Journal of Dental Education, v46 n8 p485-88 Aug 1982

Nonrestricted-answer, multiple-choice test items are recommended as a way of including more facts and fewer incorrect answers in test items, and they do not cue successful guessing as restricted multiple choice items can. Examination construction, scoring, and reliability are discussed. (MSE)
