Each chapter in the test bank gives you a separate set of practice questions to use alongside the assigned reading. When you study measurement, you can practice choosing a survey question that measures a political concept. When you reach regression, you can use a coefficient to predict how an outcome changes. The correct answer appears below each question so you can check your choice as you go.
This test bank accompanies Carolyn Forestiere’s Beginning Research in Political Science, second edition, published by Oxford University Press.
