I find many text books' test bank questions poorly written. I often wish the publishers would employ individuals who specialize in developing good test items to assess an individual's knowledge to write these. As instructors, we often do not have a choice in the text that is chosen for the courses we teach. In my career college situation, instructors have little prep time and rely on those test banks. Unless and instructor has taken a college level course on developing test items, students often get poorly constructed evaluation tools.
