Improving Confidence in the Results of
Multiple-Choice
Exams
This workshop provides an in-depth review of an important component

of assessment and focuses on guidelines for developing classroom multiple-choice
exams based on the premise that good tests are made up of good test items. The
speaker demonstrates how to develop quality tests that have evidence of reliability
and validity and includes scores of practical tips for writing good questions
and numerous examples of "good" items, "bad" items, and
"before" and "after" items.
