Abstract
The chance score on the Three-decision Multiple-choice Test was determined theoretically. The theoretical predictions were then tested empirically by using a table of random numbers to answer 100 sets of 20 multiple-choice questions like a three-decision multiple-choice test would be answered. The results indicated that the average chance score on the Three-decision Multiple-choice Test is over two times as large as the average chance score on the traditional five-alternative multiple-choice test.Keywords
