, PREFACE
In most post-secondary courses, a large percentage of student assessment is based on multiple-
choice testing. Many instructors use multiple-choice reluctantly, believing that it is a
methodology best used for testing what a student remembers rather than what she or he has
learned.
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the
means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of
multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created NETA—the Nelson Education
Teaching Advantage program—to ensure the value of our high quality test banks.
The NETA program was created in partnership with David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching
Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University, and researcher in the area of multiple-
choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts who author test banks have had
training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test construction, and developing multiple-
choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to assess higher-level thinking.
All NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple Choice Tests:
Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in using Nelson test
banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
The Test Bank for Chemistry, Second International Edition has been revised for Canadian
students by Brett McCollum, Mount Royal University. The multiple-choice questions were
written and edited to conform to NETA guidelines, which emphasize the development of higher-
order thinking and the effective construction of questions. NETA principles of question
construction help eliminate ambiguity, arguable answers, guesswork, and unconscious cues to
test-savvy students, resulting in a test that accurately reflects student understanding. The Test
Bank offers about 1764 questions, including 1357 multiple choice, 151 true/false, 58 completion
questions, 120 short answer, 32 problems, 32 essay style questions, and 14 matching items.
In addition to providing a variety of questions related to each chapter objective, this test bank
also employs a series of tags that can help design effective, balanced tests by the measure of
course outcomes. All of the tags are included with the question in the test bank. These tags
include:
