A parallel bit test (PBT) apparatus, included in memory chips that are stacked in a multi-chip package (MCP) and that share a set of data signal lines, may include: a comparing unit to output a data signal representative of a comparison between test data signals provided to a given one of the memory chips and corresponding data signals output therefrom, respectively; and a coding unit to output the representative data signal using a first subset of the shared set of data signal lines, the first subset not overlapping other subsets used by coding units corresponding to the other ones of the memory chips, respectively, the coding unit selecting one or more of the data signal lines amongst the shared set of data signal lines for inclusion in the first subset according to a first test mode register set (MRS) signal.
