Multiple choice questions present the quiz taker with a question statement (aka \u201cthe stem\u201d) followed by multiple (usually 3-5) answer options to choose from.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an MCQ, there is only one correct answer, and the rest of the options are \u2018distractors.\u2019&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stem can either be a straightforward question, such as:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mcq-quiz1-1.png\" alt=\"mcq quiz \" class=\"wp-image-47319\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, it can be in the fill-in-the-blank style, like this:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re creating a math quiz, your question statement can be an equation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MCQs may even have images or videos as the question statement or answer options and include other elements, such as graphs, tables, audio clips, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/MCQ-QUIZ-2-1.png\" alt=\"mcq quiz\" class=\"wp-image-47320\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Personality MCQ Quizzes&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quizzes that test the quiz takers\u2019 knowledge or cognitive aptitude (scored quizzes) aren\u2019t the only types of MCQ quizzes you can make.

Now let\u2019s see how you can optimize your quiz for maximum engagement. We\u2019ll start by learning <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to create multiple-choice questions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &amp; answer options and then explore some design and security-related tips.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Questions<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Use a simple format<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Framing a simple question stem is one of the primary rules of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">creating multiple-choice questions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though complex question formats have become popular, it\u2019s always better to keep answer choices simple and easy to understand to avoid confusion.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating questions and answer choices that are difficult to understand may require more time and mental effort, meaning students might skip the question or answer randomly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it\u2019s best to avoid choices such as \u201cA and B, but not C,\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Use familiar language<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re creating a learning assessment, your questions must have the same language as the course material.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid using unfamiliar expressions or foreign language terms unless measuring knowledge of such language is one of the goals of the test. That\u2019s because students may dismiss distractors with unfamiliar terms as incorrect.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Avoid adding irrelevant information&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding unnecessary information to questions does no good. It only increases the question length and can also lead to confusion and wasted time. And even if the extra information is somewhat relevant, as in the case below, it\u2019s best to reveal it in the feedback.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mcq-quiz-16-1.png\" alt=\"mcq-quiz-16\" class=\"wp-image-47333\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Answer Options&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Avoid unintentional clues&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inconsistency in answer choices often comes across as a clue to the correct answer. Differences in grammar, length, formatting, and language choice in the answer choices often make an answer choice seem like the correct answer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, it is important that all the answer choices:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have grammar consistent with the question<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.evergreen.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/writingcenter\/handouts\/grammar\/parallel.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parallel in the form<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are similar in length<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use similar language (e.g., all unlike textbook language or all like textbook language)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Avoid \u2018all of the above\u2019 &amp; \u2018none of the above\u2019 answer choices<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While these are pretty popular, it\u2019s best to avoid using \u2018all of the above\u2019 &amp; \u2018none of the above\u2019 answer options in learning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/quiz-school\/topic\/online-assessment\">assessments<\/a>. That\u2019s because questions with these options are relatively easier to answer.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you use \u2018all of the above\u2019, students can score full points on the question by identifying any two of the regular answer choices as correct. They don\u2019t even have to look at the other options.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, having \u201cnone of the above\u201d as the answer doesn\u2019t accurately test whether the student knows the correct answer or not. It only reveals that they know that the distractors aren\u2019t correct.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Have three to five answer choices per question&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t go overboard with the answer choices. Limit them to three or four per question (maximum five if necessary). From an assessment point of view, having three options is as effective as having six. So, the extra options only add to the length of the question.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Make the distractors plausible<\/b><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Farfetched or \u2018obviously wrong\u2019 distractors make it easier for students to locate the correct answer by process of elimination &#8211; even if they have little knowledge of the topic.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s an example:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mcq-quiz-17-1.png\" alt=\"mcq-quiz-17\" class=\"wp-image-47334\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, \u201cstudy skills\u201d is the right answer to the question and the other answer options have no plausible link to counseling services. An ideal question should have plausible links between the question and the distractors, like this:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.proprofs.com\/c\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/mcq-quiz-18-1.png\" alt=\"mcq-quiz-18\" class=\"wp-image-47335\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Place the answer choices in some meaningful order<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A better-structured question is easy to understand and even easier to respond to. So, try to place the choices in numerical, chronological, or conceptual order whenever possible. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During what period was Barack Obama the president of the USA?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(a) 2007 &#8211; 2015<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(b) 2008 &#8211; 2016<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(c) 2009 -2017 (right answer)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(d) 2010 &#8211; 2018<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Design<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><b>\u2713 Add your logo<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give a personality to your multiple-choice tests by adding your logo to the test description.
