	A Student Guide to Multiple Choice Exams
		Multiple choice exams ask a student to recognize a correct answer among a set of options that include 3 or 4 wrong answers (called distractors), rather than asking the student to produce a correct answer entirely from his/her own mind.
		Because multiple choice exams contain many questions, they force students to be familiar with a much broader range of material than essay exams do.
		Multiple choice exams also usually expect students to have a greater familiarity with details such as specific dates, names, or vocabulary than most essay exams do.

	Multiple choice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multiple choice is a type of form to be filled out by checking one or more of the "choices" in a list.
		It is used in education (for testing), in elections (choose between multiple candidates, parties, or policies), in market research, and many more things.
		Efficiency: Multiple choice questions allow a large amount of material to be tested in a small amount of time, whereas other tests may require the taker to use up a large amount of time to write out responses.

	Writing Multiple Choice Items which Require Comprehension
		Multiple choice questions are widely scorned as "multiple guess" questions.
		I maintain it is possible to construct multiple choice questions which are not readily guessed and which therefore require a student to comprehend basic factual material.
		Because multiple choice tests lend themselves to machine scoring, students can be offered tests over small chunks of material (which has been shown to promote learning) and students can be offered frequent re-tests or makeup tests (to reduce anxiety and promote mastery of the material).

		By understanding how multiple choice test questions can be built from course notes, you may be better able to construct example questions of your own.
		Question 1 is typical of roughly a third of the questions you might face on a multiple choice exam in that it tests knowledge that was explicitly taught in the course lectures and texts.

	CTL: Publications: For Your Consideration #8
		Although multiple choice questions are widely used in higher education, they have a mixed reputation among faculty because they seem inherently inferior to essay questions.
		But multiple choice exams can test many of the same cognitive skills that essay tests do, and, if the teacher is willing to follow the special requirements for writing multiple choice questions, the tests will be reliable and valid measures of learning.
		Well-designed multiple choice tests are generally more valid and reliable than essay tests because (a) they sample material more broadly; (b) discrimination between performance levels is easier to determine; and (c) scoring consistency is virtually guaranteed.

		Don't keep on changing your answer, usually your first choice is the right one, unless you miss-read the question.
		In "All of the above" and "None of the above" choices, if you are certain one of the statements is true don't choose "None of the above" or one of the statements are false don't choose "All of the above".
		In a question with an "All of the above" choice, if you see that at least two correct statements, then "All of the above" is probably the answer.

		A multiple-choice test usually has dozens of questions or "items." For each question, the test- taker is supposed to select the "best" choice among a set of four or five options.

		Even though you will probably eventually want to answer the question, it is better to skip it temporarily rather than stare at it, not only because of the time factor but also because the information found in some later question may jog your memory.
		Many studies--and almost all teachers--will tell you that second guessing yourself on multiple choice answers is a losing strategy.
		Students more often talk themselves out of right answers than out of wrong ones (this is statistically understandable, if over 50% of your answers were right, and you are randomly changing the answers on those items on which you feel clueless).
