Objective tests typically consist of multiple-choice questions, true/false statements, matching items, and fill-in-the-blank questions. Each question or statement is followed by a list of possible answers or options, from which the test-taker must select the correct one. The format is usually standardized and structured, with clear instructions for answering each question. Objective tests are often used to assess a test-taker's knowledge, understanding, and recall of specific information or concepts.
