they give us a lecture on mcq-writing. make sure you test important concepts, they say. make sure your stems make sense. have homogenous distractors, avoid confusing the candidates. no true/false dichotomies, no all-except constructs, nothing in the first and second persons. DO NOT, on any account, mislead the candidate.
i wonder. why do we expend so much effort at the tertiary level trying to craft the fairest mcq paper when our candidates have all survived diabolical mcq's in the earlier years of their educational journey?
