CE Question Writing Guidelines

Each CE, Technologist, and Categorical session will become an On-Demand Enduring CE Activity after the meeting. All enduring programs must include a post-test, with a minimum of 8 multiple-choice questions for each continuing education hour of credit. Session Organizers, Moderators and Speakers are encouraged to work together to ensure that enough CE Questions are written for their respective sessions.
 
Writing a good question is difficult. Remember these points to help you write a good question: 

1. Keep the question focused; a question should test a single concept, and ask for the single best answer
2. A well formatted question asks which answer correct, not which answer is incorrect. 
   • An exam is psychometrically poor when some questions ask individuals to select truth, while other questions ask individuals to select falsehood, as the correct answer.
3. There should only be one correct answer 
   • Don’t use “all of the above”, “some of the above” [e.g., A and B], “none of the above,” “always/never”.
4. A well formatted question only contains the information required to answer the question. 
   • Extraneous or misleading information should not be included. (keep it as short as possible) 
5. Possible answers should be the same length, and the same type. 
6. If “True/False” questions are used, they cannot exceed 20% of the questions provided (e.g., 2/10).
