It’s actually sort of a clever idea for a test. If you’re confident you know the answer, you get both questions right. If you’re just guessing, you think there’s no way they would both be the same question with the blanks in different places, so you guess other answers, and get them both wrong.
it would suck if they got both questions wrong
@Brett:
true, but it doesn’t work as well if both questions are next to each other
whoops, forgot to hit ‘reply’
I took harder exams in high school!! what the hell? I nearly flunked my english exam because my teacher was evil!!! I want to go to this school!
why the hell are multiple choice questions worth TWENTY POINTS!?!?!?!?!?
Probably because there are only 5 questions.
This should terrify you : in the state of Kansas the board-examination for CNA’s is only 35 questions and you only need to have a %70 to become a nurse-aide… thats why they’re multiple choice & worth way too many points.
I can’t see where this is a fail. There is only a redundancy if you know at least one of the two answers. Else you might choose two different answers without creating a contradiction.
What kind of crazy-ass college do you go to that the questions are presented as multiple choice (and picked by a badly programmed random algorithm that would be shunned by a second rate banner ad supplier) on a computer? Last time I saw that kind of sh1t, the course was a free leg-up-to-employment affair.
Non-qualification school test or something, I could credit. College exams AFAIK are still done on paper and professionally produced – or if they’re some third party vocational type (e.g. CompTIA), it’s a very extensive multiple choice where each one is presented on a seperate screen, with maybe 100 picked from a cast of several thousand by a pretty smart keyword-proximity-based routine.
As a professor at a major university, I do this to the students and you would not believe how many get one or both wrong. I always preface the test by instructing them to have confidence in their answers. Once I put the same question on the test three times by mistake, 25% missed at least 2 out of the three. Students don’t know how to take tests anymore. I required a take home essay midterm last spring and three kids copied and pasted the text book. The top of the instructions said “do not plagarize or use material from other sources without citing the source: I want mainly your own ideas. The best part? I wrote the damn textbook! As if I wouldn’t recognize my writing…
And I might add, it isn’t entirely their fault.
If it was multiple choice, I could see someone who has no clue which answer is right blindly guess three different answers to the triplicate question. At least that way they’d have a good chance of getting it right once.
Guessing the same answer would give them a chance of getting all three right, but it would be 25% if there are four choices, instead of the 75% chance of getting one of three right the other way.
So there may have been something related to actual thought behind at least a couple of them getting two or all three wrong (of course, functional illiteracy when it comes to taking tests is also always a possibility), in addition to their lack of preparedness.
lols @ you
You’re a professor at a university aye? and you called yourself Big Daddy???
hahahaha
who is teaching our kids these days!! XDD
that’s funny.
Seriously. I took this (almost exact) exam last week for my CNA certification.. Yes, it’s really that redundant.. Needless to say I laughed my ass off.
ehm all the above?
BWAHAHAhahahaha! I can just imagine how many people got this wrong. Kudos to the guy that made this poster! It’s not the test that’s retarded shit, though, it’s the number of people that don’t pick up on something so obvious!
This just screams webct/webcourses (took it at ucf, a reason i despise ucf as well). This is probably a course quiz which has to be submitted by a deadline. These are usually not too hard. But there are blondes out there…
Tests are just there for lazy teachers to do less work.
Why do you all assume this is a college exam? Just because the creator of the image suggests it is so?
You called it. It’s definitely not a college exam.
Actually, it looks a lot like one of our yearly “safety” tests on blood and biohazards that’s all hospital employees are required to take…whether or not they come in contact with biohazard materials. It’s an OSHA requirement.
Its that simple because some jobs in hospitals (like housekeeping) don’t even require a high school diploma, so the folks who write the tests keep that in mind.
Wow, I knew this anyway. Sign me up, I’ll ace this shit.
