What is a subjective and objective essay?

What are the differences between objective test and essay test?

  • Answer:

    In an 'objective' test, such as a test consisting entirely of multiple choice questions every answer is unambiguously correct or incorrect (if the test has been devised properly). If, however, candidates are required to write essays, there is always scope for individual markers to assess the essays subjectively. For example, an essay may be grammatically sound and the style may be good, but it may contain little substance. In such cases some markers may by impressed by the superficialities of the essay and not be fully aware how ill informed the student is.
