Although some achievement testing is done orally, with examinee and examiner face to face, most of it makes use of written tests. Of these written tests there are two main types: essay and objective. If the test consists of a relatively small number of questions or directions in response to which the examinee writes a sentence, a paragraph, or a longer essay of his own composition, the test is usually referred to as an essay test. Alternatively, if the test consists of a relatively large number of questions or incomplete statements in response to which the examinee chooses one of several suggested answers, the test is ordinarily referred to as an objective test.
