Short Answer Test Items Typically, the student is asked to reply with a word, phrase,

name, or sentence, rather than a more extended response.

Direct Questions / Short Answer

Who is the current Prime Minister of Canada?

Incomplete Sentences / Fill In the Blanks

The current Prime Minister of Canada is _____?

Items are fairly easy to construct and mark

Assess mainly knowledge, comprehension, and some application.

Guidelines for Writing Short Answer Items

Questions must be carefully worded so that all students understand the specific nature of the question asked and the answer required.

Poor: Wellington defeated Napoleon in _____ ?

Better: In what battle fought in 1815 did Wellington defeat Napoleon?

OR

In what year did Wellington defeat Napoleon at Waterloo?

II. Guidelines for Writing Short Answer Items

Word completion or fillin questions so that missing information is at, or near the end of, the sentence. Makes reading and responding easier.

Poor: In the year ______ , Canada turned 100 years old.

Better: Canada turned 100 years old in the year _____ .

Instructions and teacher’s expectations about filling in blanks should be made clear. Indicate whether each blank of equal length represents one word or several words, whether long blanks require sentences or phrases, and whether synonymous terms are accepted.

III. Guidelines for Writing Short Answer Items

When an answer is to be expressed in numerical units, the unit should be stated.

Poor: If a room measures 7 metres by 4 metres, the perimeter is _____ .

Better: If a room measures 7 metres by 4 metres, the perimeter is _____ metres (or m).

Do not use too many blanks in completion items. The emphasis should be on knowledge and comprehension, not mind reading!

Consider: In the year _____ , Prime Minister _________ signed the __________ , which led to a ___________ which was __________ .
