Tipsters,
I'm writing my first solo test this week. I'm planning on making some of
the questions multiple-choice and some short-answer. My question is how
much time should I put aside for the multiple-choice questions? 1 MC per
minute was a rule of thumb I think I heard once. I gave an early version
of this exam (50 multiple-choice questions) to a student today and he
finished it in about 25 minutes (or 30 seconds per question). Of course,
he's probably one of my better students. Does this mean I can ask more
questions? Thoughts on test length?
Thanks,
Carla Grayson
