The document discusses true or false tests, defining them as a type of objective assessment where students determine the veracity of statements. It outlines the advantages, such as ease of preparation and scoring, while also noting disadvantages like a limited scope for higher-level thinking. Additionally, it provides guidelines for constructing effective true or false items to enhance their reliability and validity.

4. TRUE OF FALSE TYPE OF TEST
Another format of an objective type of test is
the true or false type of test items. In this type of
test, examinees determine whether the statement
presented is true or false. True or false test items
is an example of a “force-choice test” because
there are only two possible choices in this type of
test. The students are required to choose the
answer true or false in recognition to a correct
statement or incorrect statement.

5. True or false type of test is appropriate in
assessing the behavioral objectives such as
“identify”, “select”, or recognize. “ It also suited to
assess the knowledge and comprehension level in
cognitive domain. This type of test is appropriate
when there are only two plausible alternatives or
distracters.

6. In a traditional true or false
question, students are asked to
judge whether a factual
statement is either true or false.
True/False questions are
best suited to assessing
surface level knowledge, but
can be crafted to assess higher
order thinking.

8. A modified true or false
question is a statement that
students must identified as
either true or false. If the
statement is false, however,
students must also provide the
word or phrase that makes the
statement true.

10. 2. IT IS EASIER TO PREPARE COMPARED
TO MULTIPLE-CHOICE AND MATCHING
TYPE OF TEST.
ADVANTAGES OF A TRUE OR FALSE TEST
1. IT COVERS A LOT OF CONTENT IN A
SHORT SPAN OF TIME.

11. 3. IT IS EASIER TO SCORE BECAUSE IT CAN
BE SCORED OBJECTIVELY COMPARED TO A
TEST THAT DEPENDS ON THE JUDGEMENT OF
THE RATER(S).
4.IT IS USEFUL WHEN THERE
ARE TWO ALTERNATIVES ONLY.
ADVANTAGES OF A TRUE OR FALSE TEST
5. THE SCORE IS MORE
RELIABLE THAN ESSAY TEST.

12. 2. HIGH PROBABILITY OF GUESSING THE
CORRECT ANSWER (50%) COMPARED TO
MULTIPLE –CHOICE WHICH CONSISTS OF
FOUR OPTIONS (25%)
DISADVANTAGES OF A TRUE OR FALSE TEST
1. LIMITED ONLY TO LOW LEVEL OF
THINKING SKILLS SUCH AS
KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION,
RECOGNITION AND RECALL
INFORMATION.

13. 4. AVOID USING OPINION-BASED STATEMENT , IF IT CANNOT BE
AVOIDED THE STATEMENT SHOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO
SOMEBODY.
1. AVOID WRITING A VERY LONG STATEMENT.
ELIMINATE UNNECESSARY WORD(S) IN THE
SATEMENT (BE CONCISE).
.
2. AVOID TRIVIAL QUESTIONS.
3. IT SHOULD CONTAIN ONLY ONE IDEA IN EACH ITEM
EXCEPT FOR STATEMENT SHOWING RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT..

14. 8. THE NUMBER OF TRUE ITEMS MUST BE THE SAME WITH THE
NUMBER OF FALSE ITEMS.
9. AVOID STATEMENT DIRECTLY TAKEN FROM THE TEXTBOOK.
5. AVOID USING NEGATIVE OR DOUBLE NEGATIVES. CONSTRUCT THE
STATEMENT POSITIVELY. IF THIS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, BOLD NEGATIVE
WORDS OR UNDERLINED IT TO CALL THE ATTENTION OF EXAMINEES.
.
6. AVOID SPECIFIC DETERMINER SUCH AS “NEVER,” “ALWAYS,” “ALL,” “NONE,”
FOR THEY TEND TO APPEAR IN THE STAEMENTS THAT ARE FALSE.
7. AVOID SPECIFIC DETERMINER SUCH AS “SOME,” “SOMETIMES,” AND “MAY,”
THEY TEND TO APPEAR IN THE STAEMENTS THAT ARE TRUE.

15. 12. DIRECTIONS SHOULD INDICATE WHERE OR HOW THE STUDENTS SHOULD
MARK THEIR ANSWERS.
10. AVOID GRAMMATICAL CLUES THAT LEAD TO A CORRECT ANSWER SUCH
AS THE ARTICLE (A, AN, THE).
.
11. AVOID ARRANGING THE STATEMENTS IN A LOGICAL ORDER SUCH AS
(TTTTTT-FFFFFF , TFTFTF, TTFFTTFF).
