INTRODUCTION Multiple-choice questions are used commonly in online courses. They are versatile and efficient, and most course management systems provide a tool that automatically grades this type of question. Multiple-choice tests are reliable, and the higher number of questions a test has, the more reliable it is. For example, in a 25-question test, a student has a 1-out-of-942,651 chance of scoring 70% by guessing alone. These advantages are severely undermined, however, if the questions aren’t well written.
