The Multiple True-False Item Format: A Status Review.

Frisbie, David A.

Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v11 n4 p21-26 Win 1992

Literature related to the multiple true-false (MTF) item format is reviewed. Each answer cluster of a MTF item may have several true items and the correctness of each is judged independently. MTF tests appear efficient and reliable, although they are a bit harder than multiple choice items for examinees. (SLD)
