    These rules provide guidance for constructing effective true-false test items: 1. Do not provide hints in the question that could inadvertently indicate the answer is true or false. 2. Avoid words like "always" and "never" that tend to make statements always true or false. 3. Keep sentences short to avoid long statements that tend to be perceived as true. 4.

Do not have a disproportionate number of true or false statements or obvious patterns of true and false
