Abstract
This study was designed to extend and partially replicate previous research comparing the multiple true-false (MTF) and multiple-choice (MC) item formats. Using content-parallel forms of a college-level social psychology midterm exam, the reliabilities, difficulties, concurrent validity, and response rates were investigated. The MTF measures were shown to yield higher reliabilities, lower adjusted means, and higher response rates when compared with those of MC. Also, correlations between subtests, when corrected for the unreliability, were very close to one. These results provide additional support for the use of MTF tests as an alternative to MC tests in the measurement of achievement.
