title: Cueing in multiple choice questions: a reliable, valid and economical solution.
abstract: Test questions dealing with diagnosis and management were administered to medical students in both multiple-choice format and an open-ended form which can be scored by computer. Open-ended questions are feasible to administer, equally reliable and may be more valid in certain domains than multiple-choice questions.
