Document Summary
Love them or hate them, multiple choice questions (mcqs) are used extensively for testing. Practising mcqs is also useful for honing your technical skills. Basic is the type of multiple choice question we are all familiar with from university. There is a short text portion, called the stem, and four possible responses. One is correct and the other three are incorrect distracters. The extended question type has a slightly longer text portion and then several questions, each with four possible responses, asked from the original data set. Each question is independent and can be answered without knowing the answer to the preceding question. The roman and columnar types are rarely used. There is no negative marking for incorrect responses. This effectively turns multiple choice into multiple guess, which impacts your approach. It appears that a number of candidates do not bubble in responses for some of the mcqs.
