Had an economics exam today, a mini exam consisting of 20 multiple choice questions from 4 topics. Sounds easy right?
Well, it was not that easy. You see, the way the questions and answers were worded it was extremely confusing. And I wasnt the only one who thought so. 3/4 of the class were asking the lecturer questions cause they werent sure. You see, we have 4 choices, A, B, C and D to choose from. But the way the answers read, it could have been at least minimum, 2 CORRECT answers. So how do you choose??
This is why I hate multiple choice questions. They make so blurred and confusing that you arent sure of which is the MOST RIGHT ANSWER. It shouldnt be like that, it should be ONE RIGHT choice, and the rest are FOUR WRONG ones. Not almost the same, not extremely similar, not 98% correct, NO!!
Not everyone is blessed with the knowledge of PREFECT ENGLISH, and I hate when they use the english language to confuse the students. I hated the exam, and I hate the very idea of making multiple exams so confusing that even the best student in my class was so confused, she thought she had FAILED the paper.
Sucks.
