T
he questions for each chapter are organized according to type: true-false, multiple-
choice, short-answer, and essay. Within each of these categories, questions are
clustered by topic, roughly following the order of topics in the textbook.
To provide as much flexibility as possible in constructing examinations, there is
deliberate overlap among the questions, both within and across question types. This
enables you to choose the wording and question type that best fits your testing
objectives. In deciding which questions to use, take care to avoid items such as a
multiple-choice question that gives away the answer to a true-false or short-answer
question, or an essay question that covers essentially the same ground as a true-false,
short-answer, or multiple-choice question.
Each type of question—true-false, multiple-choice, short-answer, and essay—has an
automatic numbering system, which means you can copy and paste items from within a
question type, and they will automatically number themselves consecutively, beginning
with “1.” The five answer choices for each multiple-choice question are also ordered
automatically, and so you can add, change, or reorder answer choices without
rearranging the lettering.
If you would like to preserve the fonts, line breaks, and tabs of the original questions,
you can copy and paste the questions you want to use into the exam “master” document
provided in the final Word file of the Test Bank. In the exam master, spaces for your
course name, exam type, and the student’s name and section are followed by headings
and instructions for true-false, multiple-choice, short-answer, and essay questions. You
can add elements unique to your exams, and you can delete elements that you don’t
want to use. To preserve the master document in its original form or with elements that
you would like to use again, click “Save As” and give the document a new name or click
“Save As” and change the setting in the Format drop-down to “Word Template.”
