Abstract
The application of MCQ examination techniques, in the context of a new medical school in tropical Africa, is described. The pitfalls are noted, the composition of papers discussed, and a simple method of marking is described. Some examples of questions are given, and their individual values are simply assessed. From our experience, there is no doubt that objective testing has a real place in a young medical school, where it can actually save time, as well as reducing variation in standards of examination.
