  10. Question: Does the order of the choices make a question easier or more difficult? Answer: Research says “no.”
  11. Question: What I can do to make sure that doesn’t happen in my test? Answer: Use the “scramble choices” option of your testing system.
  12. Question: Is C most commonly the correct answer in multiple choice questions? Answer: Yes when an inexperienced writer creates the question.
  13. When “None of the Above” is a choice the correct answer could be anything. It makes guessing more difficult.
  14. To be clear, I am not suggesting that “None of the Above” be the correct answer, just that it be one of the choices.
  15. Question: OK, can I use “None of the Above” as a choice? Answer: Yes (in my opinion, though some disagree). Want more detail? Let us know!
  16. Question: Is it ever appropriate to use "All of the Above" as a choice? Answer: No We’d like to hear what you do, if you agree or disagree.
