Computerized multiple-choice testing has significant advantages. For one, tests can be administered anywhere, at any time, with little infrastructure. Also, the results can be analyzed and quantified much more precisely than is possible with open-ended tests. On the other hand, timed computerized tests cause anxiety for many students and often lead to the prescription of remedial programs to address minor issues that overly sensitive data analysis can highlight.
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?
(A) Issues identified by computerized multiple-choice testing should be of little concern to students and educators.
(B) Computerized multiple-choice testing could result in the waste of educational resources used to address unimportant issues.
(C) Open-ended tests are better suited to most students than are multiple-choice tests.
(D) An open-ended test is cheaper to administer than a multiple-choice test.
(E) A computerized multiple-choice test yields results faster than a traditional open-ended test.
