types of exams

Do most med schools have multiple choice exams on their own or do some have written exams too?

For preclinical we had multiple choice papers, extended matching questions, anatomy spot tests (like a MCQ, but going round the dissection room answering questions), MEQ, which is like a mini-essay paper, and an OSPE, in which you spend 8 minutes at each station completing worksheets or examining patients. For clinical exams there are EMQ papers, single best answer papers, and the OSCE, a clinical exam, as well as in-course assessment.

In Canadian and American Schools, MCQ's are the standard until the USMLE and the LMCC exams which have the clinical reasoning which is matching and short answer. For the most part, a great website to practice medical questions is:

Hope that helps.
