Multiple choice exams are the easiest. Statistically you have a 1/4 chance just by guessing. If you did know the material and eliminate answers there is no reason you should get anything less than an A.

Yeah, but you've got a 75% chance of getting it wrong - even if there is an obvious stupid answer the odds still aren't that great.
I would much rather have short answer questions - at least there if you know a little about the subject you can pick up a few marks.

^it's amazing the difference in the US and the non US education systems.
I've been in both over my lifetime... and the way they taught in the non-US school was moreso focused on really learning.
your answer to what exam you prefer just highlights that fact.

at the end of the day, i'd rather take a hard test and have it curved, than take an easy test that everyone can pass. beating that curve feels
well actually i missed like 6-7 one of the times i took it. but i took it twice, so superscoring my best sections it came out to like 4 missed questions, and maybe 2 skips.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
Have NEVER heard of any teacher doing that. That is funny as hell man.

Not sure what you mean.... if you're implying that multiple choice exams are the best way to measure someone's knowledge on material... I can't say it is, but it is what's used the most.
