Trying to Trick You

The past few days I have been writing a multiple choice exam. I think it's funny that test-makers try to develop questions that purposefully trick and fool bad students. If the manipulatives of a question are not viable options, than the question is not a viable question because anyone could guess the answer. I have found it very interesting that testing learning requires trying to fool those who haven't learned. Writing a test is much more work than I thought.
