Multiple choice
•
Multiple choice questions are composed of
one question (stem) with multiple possible answers (choices), including the
correct answer and several incorrect answers (distracters).
•
Typically, students select the correct
answer by circling the associated number or letter, or filling in the
associated circle on the machine-readable response sheet.
True/false
•
True/false questions are only composed of a
statement. Students respond to the questions by indicating whether the
statement is true or false. For example: True/false questions have only two
possible answers (Answer: True).

Students respond to matching questions by
pairing each of a set of stems (e.g., definitions) with one of the choices
provided on the exam.
•
These questions are often used to assess recognition and recall and
so are most often used in courses where acquisition of detailed knowledge is an
important goal.
Short answer
•
Short answer questions are typically
composed of a brief prompt that demands a written answer that varies in length
from one or two words to a few sentences.
•
They are most often used to test basic
knowledge of key facts and terms.
