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.

The aim of every educational program/process is to bring desired changes in students’ behaviors. These changes are mentioned in the form of educational goals and objectives in a curriculum. But how we would know that whether these educational goals and objectives have been successfully achieved or not at the end of any educational episode. To answer this question we would need some tools of assessment and measurement. Classroom tests and standardized test are those tool which can be used for this purpose. They play a crucial role in the process of learning and instructions. They can be used for measuring a variety of learning outcomes, ranging from simple to complex and higher-order skills. In other words, different tests and assessment tools are used for measuring different learning outcomes at different levels. So the same type of test items could not be used for measuring all types of learning outcomes.
