◇ Assessment

MCQ quality checker.

Paste a multiple-choice question — stem first, then each option on its own line — and we'll flag the classic item-writing traps that make questions test wording instead of knowledge.

One question at a time. Mark the correct option with a leading * if you like (helps the distractor check).

The golden rule of MCQs: the question should be answerable by someone who knows the content — and missable by someone who doesn't. Most flaws below let a test-wise student guess, or trip up a knowledgeable one. Distractors should be plausible and parallel.
