multiple-choice test
Pick-the-answer assessment
A multiple-choice test presents questions with several possible answers, typically three to five, from which the test-taker selects the correct one.
This format dominates standardized testing because it's easy to grade automatically.
Critics argue it rewards recognition over deeper understanding: I guessed on half the multiple-choice test and still passed.
