Abstract

This study tried to compare the Multiple-Choice (MC) item format with the Multiple True-False (MTF) item format in Iranian National University Entrance Examination (NUEE). It was desirable to find out (a) if either of the formats –MTF vs. MC− was preferred by test-takers and (b) if there was a difference between the reliability estimates of the tests with the two different formats. The study deployed a questionnaire and two tests with different formats to collect data. The analysis of the responses to the questionnaire determined that the MTF format is preferred over the traditional MC format in general by the subjects of the study. The quantitative analyses of the results of the tests show that the tests with different formats did not differ significantly in the respect of reliability coefficient.
