When/how to use:
Appropriate for all levels of cognitive ability
Objective
Efficient in testing recall and comprehension of a broader content area relative to other testing strategies
Well suited to test recall, comprehension of simple logic or understanding, as with "if-then" "causal/because" statements
Not appropriate to test the ability to read or interpret complex sentences or understand complex thoughts
Sufficiently reliable and valid instrument:
Its ability to include the most test items in a time frame increases its reliability.
True false tests are less reliable than multiple choice tests unless relatively more test items are used
Useful for automated scoring
Useful for item analysis, internal and over time
