This happens on a daily basis in the ARS too, unfortunately.


I do not think a pure multiple-choice test is ever all that effective, in

Multiple choice exams are not a bad thing.

Imagine what your GPA would have been in college if all your professors gave
multiple-choice examinations AND gave you the question pool from which the
exams would be derived, at the beginning of the semester.
