As a grad school student, I have been through many of these type of tests an quizzes. So I might as well say how I feel about each of them.

True/False: I am neutral to these for the most part. I only like them when they are a really small portion of a test. I seem to have bad luck with these though as I get more wrong than right most of the time. I do hate it though when the teacher wants you to explain why the answer is False though. Especially when almost all of the answers happen to be false.
Multiple Choice: This is my preference right here for a type of test to take. Mostly because you can eliminate choices and zero in on the answer more easily. I don't like tests that are 100+ MC questions though. It is so hard to go back and check over your answers.

Fill-in-the-Blank: I haven't had much of these tests, but they are alright I suppose. They are only tricky though when there is no word bank though. Not many teachers use this.
Matching: I love these type of tests too. I usually do good on matching questions although there is always 1 or 2 that tripped me up.
Short Answer: This is the one that I voted for. Why? Because as a business major, almost all of my tests had these types of questions. And the short answers don't end up being short answers either. Often times, the questions ask for like 4 different things and it feels like I am writing a page for each question. And not to mention, most tests seem to have 8-10 problems like these.

Essay: I actually don't really mind essay questions. I am not a an of writing in anyway, but at least with essay questions there is flexibility unless you have no idea what you are talking about. I usually do good on essay questions.
Long story short, the short answers get my vote.
