MCQ tips
Preparation
Try to gather as many examples as you can of old papers and previous examples of
MCQs used by the department or school in question in the past.
Do not, however, try to memorise hundreds of responses to questions. The factual
knowledge you will gain will be superficial and dissociated. It is better to look for the
topic areas that recur frequently and ensure that you have a deeper knowledge of these
topics.
Revise with friends and colleagues. You can share knowledge and techniques.
Familiarise yourself with the optical reader cards that you will be using to record your
answers in the exam. Examples should be available from the "examinations office."
You should know what type of MCQ is being set for you. Will there be negative
marking? How much time will you have and how many questions will there be?
On the day
Check that your understanding of the MCQ format is correct. "It is negative marking,
there are 300 questions, and I have two hours to complete this." Always read the stem for
each question carefully. Have you understood the question? Are there any ambiguities? If
so ask an invigilator who will alert an examiner. There are usually one or two in the
room. Allocate three quarters of the time to answering the questions and a period at the
end to checking answers and accuracy
