Subject: [tips] time for mc exam questions


Is there a general guideline for how much time to allow on an intro psyc
midterm exam for each multiple choice question? I have heard 30 seconds, 45
seconds - just wondering what people think is reasonable. The questions
themselves are from a testbank for Weiten.

thanks,
Sally Walters

You may want to adopt the "Who wants to be a millionaire" method-easy questions 3o seconds
and more difficult questions 45 seconds.
Hope this helps.
