The single best answer multiple-choice question (MCQ) format has many advantages over traditional true/false format MCQs.

There are numerous benefits to examiners and candidates alike from adopting this format. Using examples, the usual structure of the format of this type of questions is explained, how they are written, and tips provided on how to prepare for and answer them.
