When Taking A Test

[Koh]

I don't recall ever hearing someone LIKES taking tests.   However, when you must, which format do you prefer?   This is mostly in regards to tests based around mathematics, vocabulary, or some other non-literary type test that often require a specific type in order to be executed well.

True/False is my style of choice.   While they require the test taker to pay careful attention to the wording of the question, it's either right or wrong.   If you absolutely didn't remember the material, there's a 50% chance you can still succeed.

Matching/Word Bank problems would be a general next runner up for me, assuming there aren't any superfluous options.   If all entries can only be used once, and there's the proper amount present, if one couldn't remember all the material, it's just a matter of using best fit and narrowing the options down, until the rest slide jnto place.

Last runner up would naturally be Multiple Choice.   This does not supercede True/False because of the inherent decrease in probability of success, if you're reduced to having to guess.   Unlike True/False, where it's either right or wrong, you're contending with mutliple additional false answers that muck up your judgement.

Fill in the Blank and Short Answer are in last, since not remembering the material offhand automatically means you can't even begin to approach the problem.
