Abstract
The rationale for the increased popularity of objective testing in the
UK is outlined, and issues in its acceptance by academics are conside
red. An examination is made of time costs and benefits based on a case
study of test production and implementation. Several question styles
are discussed and illustrated followed by a discussion of test adminis
tration, marking schemes and the problem of guesswork.
