This 30-question research-based multiple-choice test is designed to evaluate students' conceptual understanding of magnetism in algebra- and calculus-based introductory courses.

The survey is based on investigations of students' difficulties in magnetism up to Faraday's law and should be given in a 50-minute period. Statistical results have shown the survey to be reliable and valid. A summary of the construction and analysis of the survey is available in J. Li and C. Singh, Developing Magnetism Conceptual Survey and Assessing gender differences in students' difficulties with magnetism, 2011 PERC Proceedings, AIP Conf. Proc. 1413, 43-46 (2012).

This assessment is free for use by instructors in their classroom. As it takes years of development effort to create and validate reliable assessment instruments the file is only available to researchers and instructors.

This assessment is free for use by instructors in their classroom. However, it takes years of development effort to create and validate reliable assessment instruments. Therefore, the author requests that 1. students are not given test copies following examination; and 2. none of the questions are incorporated into web-based question delivery systems without adequate security to prevent printing or unauthorized access by students.
