Rationale for Training EQAO Test Questions
Poor performance of students on MCQs
Incongruence
Practice for standardized tests
An opportunity to respond to well constructed multiple-choice questions improves performance

Process
It is helpful to consider how students should approach multiple choice questions on a test/exam.
![Page 5: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Three-Step Process
Before they attempt any of these, read the passage for basic understanding.
Step One
![Page 6: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Step Two
Read the first question.
Does the student know the answer?
If yes, read through all the choices and make sure they select the the most correct answer. Do not choose the first correct answer they see.
![Page 7: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Step Three
If they do not know the answer right away:
- read the four choices- cross out obviously wrong answers- highlight key words in the question and scan the
text for those words to try to find the right answer
Be aware that some answers may seem correct, but there is only one best answer.
![Page 8: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Further Instructions
Now go back to any questions that they circled and left unanswered.
If time permits, repeat the steps to answering multiple choice questions and review the passage.
Always make a selection. Never leave an answer blank.
![Page 9: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Repeat this three-step process with each question in the passage.

Anatomy of a Multiple-Choice Question

Varieties of MC Questions
Single Correct Answer Single Best Answer – Our Focus Today Negative – Which of the following is NOT
… Multiple Response
![Page 14: Writing Effective Multiple Choice Questions Carlinda D’Alimonte Thanks to Alice Aspinall for her help with preparing this presentation](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051000/56649ef45503460f94c07d51/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Structure: How the Question is Constructed Use questions instead of incomplete statements Base each item on a specific problem/issue stated clearly in the
stem. The student should be able to answer the question before reading the possible answers or have a clear, specific idea of what is being asked
Include as much of the item as possible in the stem, but do not include irrelevant material
Use plausible distracters and word them clearly and concisely Keep the alternatives mutually exclusive Keep alternatives homogeneous in content Keep options at a similar length Be grammatically correct Avoid clues to the answer Use only “most correct” answer Do not use “all of the above,” “none of the above,” or negative
questions or answers Give clear instructions

Multiple Choice Questions
Think of two types of questions.
1. Questions whose answers are easily determined. In the case of a reading passage the answer is found right in the text.
- easiest to write- measure knowledge only
2. Questions whose answers require students to infer – that is, read between the lines or extend beyond what is written in the passage
- take time to construct - measure higher level thinking
