Objective type test items require the students to supply a single and correct answer of their own or select the correct or best answer from the given alternatives. They are called objective because each objective test item has a single and correct answer which can be predicted easily. Therefore, the subjective thinking of test takers can not affect the correct answer of a given test item. Similarly, objective type test items are also free from the subjective judgment of examiner. Therefore, different examiner will score the same test item in the same way. For example if one examiner gives one score for one correct answer other examiners will also do the same. Objective type test items are highly structured and more reliable than subjective type test items. Following are some of the well known types of objective type test items.
