Personally I really dislike multiple choice question format, as they often end in "gotcha" type of questions or overthinking of the question. In the exams of my university (for computer science) they are rare (most exams have at most 1/10 as multiple choice). Does anyone have an assessment of reliability/validity/fairness of multiple choice comparing to other test types? (afair objectivity is very good in multiple choice tests)
