Seven Mistakes to Avoid When Writing Multiple-Choice Questions | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
The goal of any well-constructed test is to test students’ expertise on a topic and not their test-taking skills.

The probability of answering a question correctly should relate to an examinee's expertise on the topic and should not relate to their expertise on test-taking strategies.” (NMBE, 2001, p 19)
