Preface
The Nelson Education Teaching Advantage (NETA) program is deliver research-based
resources that promote student engagement and higher-order thinking and enable the success of
Canadian students and educators. The primary NETA components are a Guide for Classroom
Engagement and our Testing Advantage resources.
NETA Test Bank
Nelson Education Ltd. understands that a good quality multiple-choice test bank can provide the
means to measure higher-level thinking skills as well as recall. Recognizing the importance of
multiple-choice testing in today’s classroom, we have created the Nelson Education Testing
Advantage program (NETA) to ensure the value of our high quality test banks.
The test bank for Marketing, fifth Canadian edition, was prepared by Michael Wade, Seneca
College of Applied Arts and Technology, and was developed through the NETA training by
Ackroyd/ Macdonald/McCollum/Montague/Morante/Ogilvie/Venkateswaran. This test bank
offers the Premium Nelson Education Testing Advantage. NETA was created in partnership with
David DiBattista, a 3M National Teaching Fellow, professor of psychology at Brock University,
and researcher in the area of multiple-choice testing. NETA ensures that subject-matter experts
who author test banks have had training in two areas: avoiding common errors in test
construction, and developing multiple-choice test questions that “get beyond remembering” to
assess higher-level thinking. In addition, Professor DiBattista confirms the subject-matter
expert’s understanding of and adherence to the NETA principles through a review.
All Premium NETA test banks include David DiBattista’s guide for instructors, “Multiple
Choice Tests: Getting Beyond Remembering.” This guide has been designed to assist you in
using Nelson test banks to achieve your desired outcomes in your course.
This test bank also contains over 3300 questions in multiple-choice, true/false, and essay type
format. Answers (ANS) are provided along with text page references (REF); a rationale (RAT),
if needed; Learning Objective (OBJ) tied to the text; difficulty type (DIF); a grading point (PTS);
and the Bloom Taxonomy Category (BLM) for each question.
