This paper is focuses on comparing the reliability and validity of two test formats, a traditional multiple-choice format and a newly developed serial multiple-choice format. The aim of the thesis is to find out whether the two formats are equivalent tests of receptive, meaning- recognition knowledge of mid-frequency English words. Two tests were distributed among advanced students of English at Czech secondary schools, one in the multiple-choice format, one in the serial multiple-choice format. The analysis of 87 test responses revealed that the tests are not equivalent. The serial multiple-choice test was significantly more difficult than the multiple-choice test. The results of this study suggest that the serial multiple-choice format partially suppresses the participants' ability to apply test strategies and guessing. The data indicates that the serial multiple-choice test took longer to sit. However, neither test caused the participants more stress. This study shows that the wording of options on the serial multiple- choice format should be treated differently than on the typical multiple-choice format. The findings of this study may inform teachers about the advantages and disadvantages of the serial multiple-choice test format. Keywords: multiple-choice test, serial multiple-choice test,...
