Using
“All That Apply” Question Types
The Pedagogue Assessment Management System,
like most systems that can create on-line tests, has
an “All That Apply” question type, in which
more than one choice may be correct. For example:
Select the people who were presidents
of the United States:
William Henry Harrison
Benjamin Harrison
Andrew Johnson
Henry Clay
Chester Arthur
As opposed to multiple choice questions,
students uniformly dislike this question type. Why?
Simple – it’s harder. Instead of testing
one piece of information it tests several.
