What Are They?

Multiple choice questions that go beyond basic recall of information and require more cognitively complex operations such as creating, evaluating, analyzing, and applying information according to (Anderson et al., 2001; Bloom, et al., 1956; Krathwahl, 2002).

This requires the creation of questions that require the student to demonstrate a competency or performance capability students have learned during the course. Questions directly align with course learning outcomes. 

Higher Order Multiple Choice Questions can include the following elements:

  • interpretation of a a case study
  • an incomplete table or graph requiring analyzing
  • a scenario or case study that is the foundation of several MCQ's
  • students will need to draw on higher order thinking in order to solve the question

Higher order MCQ exams can have a case study related to several questions, a graph for interpretation, or an incomplete scenario that requires solving. In administering an exam with higher order MCQ's, remember that students will need more time to complete the exam than typical MCQ exams.
