For a thirty-minute examination, which type of test will achieve both high reliability and greatest coverage of content and skill?
- Completion
- True/false
- Multiple Choice
- Essay
Correct Answer

A. Essay

Explanation

An essay test would achieve both high reliability and the greatest coverage of content and skill in a thirty-minute examination. This is because an essay allows students to demonstrate their understanding of a topic in depth, providing a comprehensive coverage of content. Additionally, essays can assess higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, which further enhances the test's coverage of skills. While completion, true/false, and multiple-choice tests may be more efficient in terms of time, they may not provide the same level of depth and coverage as an essay test.
