In the case of closed-ended questions a pupil has to choose an answer from given variants. These questions are the most frequented form in the world and they are also quite commonly used at Czech schools. There are described the methods as well as process and results of research connected with this problem in mathematical education at elementary school there. The aim of the research was to answer the question: Are pupils more successful solving the test with open-ended or closed-ended questions?
