What is a major limitation of true/false questions?

The major limitation of true/false questions is that students may remember false items as true. This phenomenon can occur due to cognitive biases, such as familiarity or the mere exposure effect, where repeated exposure to information can lead individuals to mistakenly recall it as accurate. As students engage with a true/false format, especially in high-pressure situations like exams, they might have an easier time recognizing statements that are true and may struggle with the negation of false statements. This can lead to incorrect answers and misinterpretation of students' actual knowledge and understanding of the subject matter. The simplicity of these questions often fails to provide a reliable measure of a student's comprehension and retention of more complex concepts.

In contrast, the other options highlight aspects that are not as significant in this context, focusing on completion time, assessment of analytical skills, and perceived simplicity, which don't directly address the retention and recall issues that can arise specifically from the true/false format.
