i never took such a test.
ltjektanoporkins
I had a High School teach give a test where all the answers where "C"... thanks Mr Douglas!
punchlineguy
I get really nervous cause I feel like the ppl that made the test would be like no that shouldn't happen and I change my answer
LordChungus
I remember seeing a story somewhere on here about a psychology prof who made the test so that every answer was A. /1
LordChungus
2/ Students freaked out and thought that they couldn't possibly be all A, and answered B,C, and D to questions that were obviously A.

The teacher I worked for made me design the same test. I felt bad about doing it, but it was real easy to grade so it all works out.
Tearien
One of my professors didn't understand how to work the test making program. All correct answers were always A till the last couple weeks.
battlestargingerpubes
So much evil.
mcginnmc
Man all my test were the same it would go three way one way and two the next if not I wansn’t doing it right.

Adult version: at work we ship product in containers whose lids have expiration dates. Last week I was checking a bunch of them, and the 1/
IAmTheBadW01f
First 4 I checked had been originally put on: 01/16, 02/16, 03/16......and....04/16. VICTORY! 2/2
IamTheSherm
I had a physics exam. The question was "Which of the following is true?" A) Earth rotates around the sun. B) the sun rotates around Earth
IamTheSherm
C) Both of the above statements are true. D) Neither of the above statements are true.
IamTheSherm
I didn't know of the professor was testing my knowledge of Rotation vs Revolution (both rotate around their polar axis)
IamTheSherm
Or if it was a poorly worded gimme question. To this day, I don't know if I got it right. I selected D.
dangerousDoc
One teacher in college explained the statistical unlikely hood off an entire test being one answer...and made every answer C.
Remeliss
Just thinking about the all A's test gives me anxiety.
HorsefaceBeeguy
That last one. I can just imagine the sweat from the nervous students because of them not knowing if they were right or wrong.
Teksura
My dad did similar for a final exam. 50 questions, True or False. All of them were True. Every one.
Nefel
After about 8 I probably would have just done every 10 questions, then if they were all (a) I would have filled in every spot (a) and napped
TemetNosce000
I thought I had one like that. I was wrong
DarksteelPenguin
I had an exam like that once. Once you figure out that the teacher is trolling you, you can stop sweating.
kibateo
also imagine you get the first couple wrong so you don't realize the pattern early on as well. That'll fuck with ya
dokpsy
But still that one that doesn't follow the pattern
HaryTheVII
I once got 6 in a row (they were all correct). Next question, it's the same answer (7th C in a row). I was like, are the trolling me?
PorneliusHubertII
After 3 in a row I would have been an absolute wreck. After 10 I would have sensed the pattern. There would be no way that I got that many
pokenar
I think that's exactly what makes the second last one so evil.
iSoulend
and then you get to the penultimate one and you're like "wait, it's not ... did I fail"
PorneliusHubertII
Nah if the pattern was that prominent then you should e expect a curve ball somewhere.
PorneliusHubertII
Answers wrong.
Porecomesis
Oh look at Mr Confident over here.

zyonasan
That isn't a good sign. scantron tests rarely have patterns for "correct" answers, when I start seeing patterns on my test I panic....
zyonasan
because I know I screwed up somewhere.
IWasToldThereWasCake
Remember taking those Scantron tests and if there were too many answers in the same column in a row, you would go back and change an answer

in my 15 total years of school, I've never had a test with answers, in sequence, as "BAD CD" and I feel upset about this any time I remember
igniskonig
Maybe you did, but you got one of those five questions wrong every time.
memesstore
Those tests seems to only demand reiteration.
John878
In high school psych we had a test on paranoia. Every answer was A.
RenaissanceFaireMan
The one answer that wasn't an A should be worth a lot of points/extra credit.
TheShadowsLengthen
Non-American here. How many of these tests did you have to do ? Until which grade are they common ? They seem frighteningly easy...
Thekingofbeans
r/iamverysmart
TheShadowsLengthen
No, I mean, you have to choose between 4 already given answers, right ? That's easier than having to find an answer without clues...
Thekingofbeans
They're not all multiple choice...
TheShadowsLengthen
Then I don't understand how it works, I suppose...How do you choose between A, B, C or D ?
RaynWisp
All levels of primary/secondary/tertiary education, I've even seen doctoral courses use scantrons for quizzes.
doctorbees
I wish my PhD courses believed in scantron exams. The hand cramps I got during our written exams were legendary.
Solkanarmy
yeah, multiple choice is always easy, it's very hard to get the correct answer in other forms of test by being lucky
LeaderBeans
"More than one answer may be correct. Pick the BEST answer." Was the kind of crap that usually tripped people up.
Capnrory
All of my written exams at medical school were like this (UK)
FallingStar7669
Multiple choice is usually easier, but some questions are very commonly misunderstood, and those "commonly wrong" answers are included.
fandsor
Professors also like to fuck with semantics. That's my least favorite part, because I'm a writer. We're particular about word usage.
ceruleanpure
Easy or difficult is dependent on the teacher writing the test. We started in grade 2 elementary and I had these types of tests in college.
ceruleanpure
My high school had a test every chapter plus a final. College, for me, was 3 tests plus a final for each class (on average).
Suspiciouspenguin
Was i the only one that rarely got these types of multiple choice tests?
PmMeGifsForSauce
Scantrons only recently became more common. I remember when they were introduced to my class, then they were almost bi-weekly.
Pegussu
America's state exams are multiple choice. They also have multiple choice "scantron" which lets teachers just scan a test's answers to grade
sadstitchintherain
I only took them for my Cambridge English exams. So I connect them with Anglophone people.
Overmyheadthejokegoes
my old psych teacher had a loop where if you got every problem wrong on a test you got an A but if you got one right you got that grade
tacojuggler
Reminds me of Reese from Malcolm in the Middle he got every answer wrong on his finals senior year so he couldnt make it up in summer school
JustSomeHoneybadger
I think I have gotten 1 or 2 of those in my entire life, even multiple choice questions are rare here, and we cheered every time.
stronomer
Nope.
HorsefaceBeeguy
Had em in canada
RevengeOfThePotatomancer
Yeah, they were very common in high school.
Mankytoes
We had them a bit in England, and I'd do as well as the genius kids on them, they kicked my arse when we actually had to write answers.
GNious
Is this a Freedomistan thing? Never seen a test like this outside of one part of the draft-tests a few decades ago.
Zelliana
We call them QCM in french. We have them for the competitive exams of the first year of medical studies, 500 places for 2300 candidates 1/
Zelliana
In my university, first finals (this week )literally rules out the last 15% of students. I'm screwed. But wish me luck. Second one in may.
vince086
Also during the BAC for math or physics, can't remember. A wrong answer would take away points.
Deserack
In Australia we have real testing with worked answers. The only multiple choice we do it NAPLAN, etc which is more of a census anyway...
Philmountie
What are "worked" answers?
Deserack
They give you blank lines below the question and are expected to show workings or explanations to convey understanding.
420eatit
I’m hsc exams you can expect some multiple choice, but usually a small percentage of the total mark
Fivemachinesinjapanese
No, you weren't. But they are very common in America.
Kodaxmax
and australia (NSW atleast)
khora
To prepare you for all the multiple choice quizes used in office work.
sunyudai
Much faster to grade when teacher are working full classrooms. Also trains you for the assessment tests in high school used to get funding.
SpaceGK
I don't think it really matters what kind of test is, but the practical, hands-on kind of stuff is by far the most important in my opinion
thegourdkingpumpkin
important for all the buzz feed quizes that you do to fill the void that your shit job has created
allegedlynerdy
Unpopular opinion: MC tests are important, and should continue, but should also be combined with more practical collab based tests as well
Robindino17
MC should always be combined with normal questions or make the student write down the letter. This way there is variation and no worrying
Robindino17
About having 1several A's following each other
khora
I've never done one in school. We had to write answers. I imagine it is much easier when the correct answer is in front of you.
CorrectMostOfTheTime
You would think that but no, because you have the right answer and 3 ALMOST correct but slightly off answers
Aspross
I still don’t understand these tests. Help.
PastryRaven
I guess you're given a written booklet of multiple choice questions and a separate sheet of corresponding dots to fill out the answers on.
ABadManWithABeard
You guess correctly.
PastryRaven
So I don't rapidly age and turn into a skeleton then?
ABadManWithABeard
That's only if you finish early but can't leave til everyone's done.
BatmanRidingANarwhal
No one said that
PastryRaven
It wasn't specifically ruled out.
OverMyDadBody
That's a good way to give chance to fuck it up by skipping a set of boxes accidentally. Stupid system.
Heysuckmybatarang
Oh that happened a couple times when I was in a school. It fucks up their whole test. They often couldn't retake
OverMyDadBody
Exactly my point
PorneliusHubertII
We you have to be real stupid to miss a box.
OverMyDadBody
or super stressed
IMadeThisSoICanSaveFavorites
The system has a ton of flaws but accidentally skipping an answer isn't one of them, lol.
adriedupoldprune
The point is that they are easy for a machine to read.
Rectunator
...wait you have entire exams with nothing but multiple choice guestions? No writing your own answers? No essays? Just colouring circles...?
EvilDoctorScreezul
Most tests like these also come with an essay portion. Smaller quizzes and the like are often just multiple choice.
moonshadow23
only sometimes and if it were math you might have a paper to work problems out on.
Linkpwns
Could be a quiz
FallingStar7669
They exist, but they're not the norm. It's usually only for state-standardized tests, not for the regular ones.
Rectunator
I see. You see thats the only kind of a test I've ever run into in US series/movies.
RenaissanceFaireMan
You have to color in the circle very well. Teach really emphasizes how important it is to bring the right pencil and fill them completely.
Mumalot
and it HAS to be a # 2 pencil for some reason... anyother #, and the scanmachine shall be displeased.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Make sure you bring 2 of them!
vampirehedgehog

DoctorNumberFour
This is surprisingly not a joke.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Because if you don't, teacher has to manually grade the paper...
Rectunator
I'm a Finn and a almost graduated teacher. This hurts me on so many levels. And explains things too.
