A Comparative Study of Three Multiple-Answer Test Formats

Three multiple-answer test formats that may contain more than one correct answer were compared on mean test scores, reliability, and validity. While the Multiple True-False (MTF) test format requires the examinee's response of "T," or "F," or "DK" to each option of an item, the Multiple-Answer (MA) test format instructs the examinee to mark the correct options and leave the incorrect ones blank. If any examinee indicates omissions by blanks in an MA test, ambiguity would exist in interpreting each blank in the MA test.
