Objective vs Subjective Testing Explained

The document summarizes the key differences between objective and subjective testing. Objective tests involve items that can be objectively scored, with only one correct answer, such as multiple choice questions. Subjective tests require judgment to evaluate responses, like essays, and can have several possible correct answers. While objective tests are faster to administer and score, subjective tests provide opportunities for students to express their opinions and demonstrate their reasoning.
