What is Objective test?
• An objective test is a test that has right or
wrong answers and so can be marked
objectively.

provide a response to a question whose
correct answer is predetermined.
(http://caacentre.lboro.ac.uk/resources/objec
tive_tests/index.shtml)
Such a question might require a student to :
1) select a solution from a set of choices
(MCQ, true-false, matching)
2) identify an object or position (graphical
hotspot)
3) supply brief numeric or text responses (text
input)
• popular : easy to prepare and take, quick to
mark, and provide a quantifiable and concrete
result.

sonnet: abab cdcd efef gg.
