Some people think multiple choice tests are better than tests which require you to write an essay. Other people think that tests which require you to write an essay are better. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In the present age whether multiple-answer tests provide more benefits than open-answer

view. The

first

factor we need to take into consideration is that the open question exams tend to foresee a broader view of a student's knowledge of a certain subject. An open-answer question provides a better outlook on the respondent's level for the teacher that corrects the given

test

. The vast majority of humans prefer to get an excellent grade rather than a bad mark and the fact that a student's essay answer will be graded motivates them to spend a few hours more studying for the

For example

, if a history exam is coming up

week, a student is more likely to start studying for it earlier and the quality of his knowledge will improve than studying for a

that requires knowing only a date and the name of a historical character.

In contrast

Moreover

This

Although
