The Alternative Response item consists of a
declarative statement that allows students to
choose between two comparable answers, one is
correct and the other is wrong.

4 Alternative Response Test
Bryan
1. Use only one important idea in each
stem.
When an item includes two or more ideas
and the student may not know one of them, it
cancels out he usefulness of the other idea
(which he knows) in evaluating this
knowledge.
Specific Guidelines /Suggestions in Constructing
Alternative Response Test
Bryan
Example:
1. The president of the Philippines is elected to office
every six years.
POOR
2. According to the constitution, the Presidential term of
the Philippines is elected to office every six years.
BETTER

2. Write items positively.
Avoid negative statements such as “no” or
“ not”, as much as possible used them only
when the concepts being tested cannot be
stated positively.
Specific Guidelines /Suggestions in Constructing
Alternative Response Test
Bryan Examples:
1. None of the parts was needed in the constitution of
the gadget.
POOR
2. All of the parts were necessary for the construction
of the gadgets.
BETTER

Bryan 3. Avoid long complex sentences.
Long complex sentences tend to measure
extraneous facts of reading comprehension
rather than the knowledge or understanding
being measured.
Ok! Okay!
Specific Guidelines /Suggestions in Constructing
Alternative Response Test
Bryan Examples:
1. Despite the theoretical and experimental difficulties of
determining the exact pH value of a solution is acid by
the red colour formed on litmus paper when it is inserted
into the solution.
POOR
2. Litmus paper turns red in an acid solution.
BETTER

4. Avoid including two ideas in one
statement unless cause-effect
relationships are being measured.

Kristine Examples:
1. A worm cannot see because it has simple eyes.
T F
POOR
2. Worms do not have simple eyes.

5. True statements and false statements
should be approximately equal in
length.

6. The number of the true statement and
false statement should be approximately
equal. Vary the percentage of true statements
somewhere between 48 to 60 percent. Never
make your statements true or false.

7. Place the item in a random manner.
Avoid presenting them in a pattern such as
TFTF or TTTFFF, etc. which favor students
who are merely guessing.
5 Advantages and Limitations
Dorina
02
Efficient
Easy to construct
Provides for a wide sampling of
material
Limited to measuring at the knowledge
level
Susceptibility to guessing.
Tips to Remember !!!!!
• If you are simply doing T/F stay away from opinion
Dorina
02 statements.
• Keep the stem clear and concise (avoid complex
sentences)
• Do not use subjective words such as frequently, most,
some, few, usually, often, etc.
• Do not use absolute terms such as always, never, all,
