Evaluating professional competence in medicine is a difficult but indispensable task because it makes it possible to evaluate, at different times and from different perspectives, the extent to which the knowledge, skills, and values required for exercising the profession have been acquired. Tests based on multiple choice questions have been and continue to be among the most useful tools for objectively evaluating learning in medicine. When these tests are well designed and correctly used, they can stimulate learning and even measure higher cognitive skills. Designing a multiple choice test is a difficult task that requires knowledge of the material to be tested and of the methodology of test preparation as well as time to prepare the test. The aim of this article is to review what can be evaluated through multiple choice tests, the rules and guidelines that should be taken into account when writing multiple choice questions, the different formats that can be used, the most common errors in elaborating multiple choice tests, and how to analyze the results of the test to verify its quality.
评估医学专业能力是一项艰巨但不可或缺的任务，因为它能够在不同时间、从不同角度评估从业者所具备的专业知识、技能和价值观的程度。基于多项选择题的测试一直以来都是客观评估医学学习的最有用工具之一，并且仍将如此。当这些测试设计良好且使用正确时，它们能够促进学习，甚至可以衡量更高层次的认知技能。设计多项选择题测试是一项艰巨的任务，需要了解待测试的材料、测试准备方法以及准备测试所需的时间。本文旨在回顾通过多项选择题测试可以评估的内容、编写多项选择题时应考虑的规则和指南、可以使用的不同格式、编制多项选择题测试时最常见的错误，以及如何分析测试结果以验证其质量。
