Abstract

This Research and Practice Note assesses grade 7 students’ recall of hepatitis B information using three different types of tests : short answer, true-false, and multiple choice. It concludes that short answer testing is the most reliable and recommends that evaluators be consistent with the type of test used to assess pre- and post-knowledge of students.
