Indicating the type of question is not required for multiple choice questions.
Because test banks may be imported into digital test-taking systems, we recommend avoiding answer choices such as: “A and C;” or “All of the above.” Structuring an answer choice in this way negates the ability to employ answer choice randomization. Instead, rewrite the full answer choice.
