Answer to Question 1

Multiple choice items are less susceptible to guessing. They require that the correct answer be selected, not that an incorrect statement simply be reorganized, and they can measure skills higher than simple facts.

Answer to Question 2

All things being equal, a multiple-choice test will have a higher reliability than an equivalent true-false test because of the high probability of getting a true-false item correct as a result of guessing. One way to increase the reliability of true-false tests is to increase the number of items on the test. Thus, a true-false test with many more items than a corresponding multiple-choice test might possess higher reliability.
