Adding a Twist to the Multiple Choice Test
Chapter
Abstract
A multiple choice test is constructed so that it contains a fifty-fifty ratio of correct to incorrect answers, unevenly distributed. Choosing correct answers gives positive points, choosing incorrect answers gives negative points. The aim is to simplify test construction and avoid guessing by the student.
