The document provides critiques and suggestions for improving objective test items. It notes guidelines that samples followed and did not follow. For multiple choice items, it suggests using more than four options, making the options homogeneous, and not using "none" or "all". For true/false items, it recommends short, concise statements and an equal number of true and false items. It also provides guidelines for matching items, such as clearly stating directions and labeling columns. Suggestions are given for arranging items logically and writing directions so examinees understand what to do.
