Study Notes
Stem Construction
- The primary focus when constructing a stem for a question should be to clearly and concisely present the problem or situation that the question is asking about.
Mutually Exclusive Options
- All options in a multiple-choice question should be mutually exclusive to ensure that only one correct answer is possible, preventing confusion and ambiguity.
Avoiding Ambiguity
- Option phrasing that is overly broad, too specific, or similar to the stem should be avoided when constructing question options.
Testing Different Aspects of Learning
- Ensuring that a multiple-choice question tests different aspects of learning is essential for a comprehensive assessment. This involves including questions that test recall, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
Correct Answer Requirements
- For a multiple-choice question, the correct answer should be factually accurate, relevant to the stem, and unambiguous. It should stand out clearly from the distractors.
