    Study Notes

    Meaningful Stems

    • A meaningful stem should be clear and concise, providing a question or a problem that the examinee needs to solve.
    • Meaningful stems should also be grammatically correct and avoid ambiguity.

    Distractors

    • They should represent common misconceptions, alternative viewpoints, or incorrect applications of the concept.

    Option Guidelines

    • All options in a question should be grammatically parallel and consistent in structure.

    Distractor Homogeneity

    Selecting the Correct Answer

    • Understanding the content, concept, or skill being assessed in the question.
