True or False/Yes or No (let’s face it, they were the same thing) was as good as multiple choice. Actually better since you had a fifty percent chance of getting it right if you didn’t know the question and most multiple choice questions I saw were either three possible choices or four possible choices, meaning either about a 33.33% chance of getting it right or a 25% chance of getting it right. Course when you look at the margin for error True or False was still better than multiple choice as it had a lower margin for error at 50% compared to about 66.66% to 75% for multiple choice. Fill in the blank was always the hardest if you didn’t know the question since there was no margin for error. You either got it right or got it wrong. Never really understood how they could grade opinion questions. Now opinion questions that asked you to back up your opinion with stuff from the lesson plan I get because that’s really just asking you to show that you paid attention. But just plain question I’ll never understand.
It’s always 50/50 in a deal like that, unless it’s a multiple answers question. If you can convince the teacher why you put a certain answer when the correct one is another, explain them why you think that way and they may praise your ideology. It has worked for me.
I remember when my grandfather told me one of his classes had a fish in a tank in the corner. He remembers hearing his students talking to each other:“It is a boy or a girl?”“I dunno… how can you tell?”“Let’s vote on it!”
I remember those day’s. I found that in answering a question directly I often got it wrong, But in multiple choice I always got the correct answer. I seems your subconscious remembers more then your conscious memory. Or is it short term and long term memory?

sounds like a conversation Calvin and Susie would have (C is PP and S is F).

There’s a degree of logic to what Peppermint Patty’s thinking. Her way makes it a sure 50/50 instead of a double all-or-nothing.

Peppermint Patty doesn’t care because she knows she’s going to get a D- anyway.

I often used multiple choice questions: four tempting answers and one right answer.

Yeah. And also a destroying one.
