Reflection on performance of multiple choice questions in exams

For four-choiced question, if the error rate is around 75%, it indicates that the 4 choices are randomly selected. On the other hand, an error rate over 90% indicates that a wrong choice was preferred by most exam-takers.

So, around 75% error rate indicates that exam-takers are basically clueless, whereas over 90% error rate indicate a mis-understanding.

bio125 final exam.

Five students finished the 40-question closed book part in 1 hour.
Most students spent 50-70 minutes on the 12 question bioinformatics section for their first attempt. Student usually spent very short time on their second attempt.

There are 12 questions in the open book part, I set the total score to 10.  I found this mistake after students submitted their answers. I adjust the total score to 12 while students are still taking the exam, the grades are updated and Moodle did not complain.

By 1pm, only 3 students are left.
