Characteristics of multiple-choice questions (MCQs)
Multiple-choice Questions are probably the most widely used of objective tests. Such questions are normally composed of four parts:
STEM - question or incomplete statement
OPTIONS - suggested answers or completions
DISTRACTERS - incorrect responses
KEY - correct response
While the stem is, in most cases, written material, other material such as graphs, diagrams, sets of results may be used. In these cases it is probable that abilities other than recall may be tested. In some cases a number of questions (items) may be related to the same material. In these circumstances, care must be taken to make the questions independent (i.e. the answer to one question not depending on an answer to a previous one).
