Traditional Guidelines for Good Multiple Choice Questions
- Treat exam writing as a process, with drafting and revising stages. Don’t try to write more than a few MCQs in a single day. One tactic is drafting one or two questions after you craft a lesson or teach a class, when your sense of what you are teaching is strongest. Later on, revise these questions together. Check to make sure that each has a clear correct answer and that other options are clearly wrong. Decide whether any question yields the answer to another too easily.
