Single Choice vs Multiple Choice Questions

This article outlines the distinction between single and multiple-choice questions.

The primary difference lies in how candidates respond. Single-choice questions permit candidates to select only one answer, whereas multiple-choice questions allow them to choose one or more correct answers.

Options available only for multiple-choice questions #

Multiple-choice questions also offer additional options not available for single-choice questions:

  1. Using the Answer generator option, you can define several correct and incorrect answers that will be randomly selected and displayed to each test candidate.
  2. Using the scoring method By the combination of answers, the candidates must select one of the predefined correct combinations to earn points. You can limit the number of answers the user can select using this option.

Example:

  1. Create a multiple-choice question with five answers.
  2. Select the By the combination of answers scoring method.
  3. Limit the user to selecting only three answers.
  4. Create a combination carrying 4 points, specifying three correct answers.
  5. Establish a second combination with 2 points, requiring the selection of two correct answers.

In this example, candidates cannot mark more than three correct answers.

These features empower you to create versatile multiple-choice questions tailored to your preferences.
