Today, I was grading finals for school. I'm a high school physics teacher. For the final I decided to be nice and make it a true or false final (a or b on a scantron). Halfway through, I had to call one of the kids parents and explain how he got a 0%. He marked all his answers as C. FML

that is o e time where the "most tests have more c than any other letter" rule does not fit

True/False tests were honestly so much worse than multiple choice when I was in school... True/False usually means you have to have so much more memorized in order to find the 1 word that does or doesn't make a question false.

Uhhh... Intimacy... Don't say he had some great idea to bring his grades back up.

I'm probably being stupid but with that logic shouldn't multiple choice questions be harder still? Because multiple choice questions are just Truth/False/False/False (assuming it's 4 choices) so therefore it would be harder than just a truth/false question, right? I'm probably wrong and not reading it right though.

Logically, you are correct if you are guessing. However, when one is actually trying, true false questions are much more detailed oriented, meaning everything could be true except one single thing and somtimes that is tricky to deduce. But, in multiple choice questions they are only asking about a specific thing making the answer more easy to decipher. Thus making true and false harder than multiple choice.

That's true, I'm really slow at thinking so I couldn't figure it out.
