 WHAT ARE TRUE/FALSE
QUESTIONS?
• True" and "False" typically represent answer choices for multiple-choice questions. These options

require students to determine whether the entire statement presented is absolutely correct or entirely

incorrect.

True:

• All of the information in the statement is true and backed up by reliable evidence.

• The statement is error-free and contains no misleading information.

• The statement would be considered false if it contained even the slightest amount of mistakes or missing

information.
False:

• The statement is false, deceptive, or at least slightly at odds with the evidence.

• Taken as a whole, the statement is not true to reality.

• Even if some of the statement is true, it is a false answer because its overall meaning is incorrect
 GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING
TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS
1.Decisions and Detail:

• Make clear and brief statements.

• Stay clear of uncertain or complex sentence structures that could cause misunderstandings.

• Concentrate on a single, distinct idea or piece of information per statement.

2.Quality:

• Make sure "true" statements are backed up by evidence and factual accuracy.

• There should only be one openly incorrect component for "false" statements

• Remarks that are misleading or only partially true should be avoided because they may confuse

students.
3.Balance:

• Make an effort to distribute the True and False statements fairly. Abstain from clearly favoring one option

over the other.

5. Randomize Question Order:

• If possible, randomize the order of questions to minimize the likelihood of students benefiting from

patterns in the test structure.

6. Assess Higher-Order Thinking:

• Include statements that assess higher-order thinking skills, such as application or analysis, rather than

relying solely on recall of facts.

 HOW TO SCORE
TRUE/FALSE
• Grading a true and false test involves assessing each statement to determine whether

it is true or false and then assigning the appropriate score.

• Assign a point value: Decide on the point value for each question. Commonly,

true/false questions are worth one point each, but you can adjust this based on the

overall point distribution of the test or the difficulty level of the questions.

2. Mark each statement: Go through each statement one by one and mark whether it is

true or false based on the correct answers.

3. Calculate the total score: Add up the points for all the correctly answered questions to

calculate the total score for each student. For example, if a student got 15 true/false

questions correct, their total score would be 15 points.

4. Double-check your grading: Once you have completed grading the test, double-check

your work to ensure accuracy. This helps minimize errors and ensures fairness in the

grading process.

5. Review for consistency: Double-check your scoring to ensure consistency. Ensure that

you applied the scoring criteria uniformly across all students.

 CONCLUSION
• In conclusion, our exploration of true and false questions underscores the vital importance of

precision and clarity in testing. Maintaining clear, balanced, and easily understandable

statements is essential for creating assessments that accurately gauge students'

comprehension.

• We must challenge our students sufficiently to encourage critical thinking and application of

knowledge, yet ensuring the assessment remains fair and accessible.
