Give Clear Instructions. Let students know the basis on which items are to be matched, where to write answers, and whether a response may be used more than once. Keep the two sets of items homogeneous. Try to order the responses. Create more responses than premises. Be conscious of layout and format.
A multiple-choice question (MCQ) is composed of two parts: a stem that identifies the question or problem, and a set of alternatives or possible answers that contain a key that is the best answer to the question, and several distractors that are plausible but incorrect answers to the question.
Multiple Choice and True/False Each question must begin with a question number, followed by either a period . or a parentheses ). The question wording must follow the question number. Each answer must begin with a letter (A-T) followed by a period . or a parentheses ).
Write objective test questions so that there is one and only one best answer. Word questions clearly and simply, avoiding double negatives, idiomatic language, and absolutes such as never or always. Test only a single idea in each item. Make sure wrong answers (distractors) are plausible.
