Brief Summary

The MCQ is one of the objective assessment methods. It is proper to evaluate the cognitive domain of learners with high objectivity. However, there are no definite criteria for determining the appropriate exam time. The ability to comprehend the meaning of a text, when reading, cannot be directly applied to reading for decision-making or answering questions.

Detailed Description

The study was conducted at the Institute of Medicine, Suranaree University of Technology in Thailand. The research participants were second to fifth-year medical students who had taken MCQ tests during their preclinical and clinical years between the academic years 2021-2022. All examinations in this study were computer-based, closed book, single best answer MCQs written in English. The participants were Thai, non-native English speakers A questionnaire was chosen as the data collection method due to the ease of administering it to new fourth-year medical students with minimal disruption to their learning activities. Convenience sampling was used to randomly select second to fifth-year medical students as the students would not be identifiable. An online survey or questionnaire-based study was used to collect information from participants in this study. If the data was unsaturated, triangulation data from a group of interviews would consist of students from different rotations to receive as much information on students' perspectives as possible
