Abstract
As we have thought about objective, fixed-response questions there have been recurrent themes of unease. In a previous paper in this journal (CERAPIE 2000,Vol. 1, No. 3, pp. 323-328) we set out evidence from the literature and from our own research, that the “conventional” forms of fixed response questions had serious drawbacks. This paper offers three other types of fixedresponse questions which are designed to overcome these problems, at least in part. [Chem. Educ. Res. Pract. Eur.: 2001, 2, 313-328]
