How to use Question and Answers in Oral Health Education

This book has been written based on two styles of questions: multiple choice questions and extended matching questions that are used in the National Examination Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) Post Registration Qualification in Oral Health Education exam. Students should read through this section of the book before using it as a revision guide in order to gain the best possible understanding of how the questions are prepared.

This book is designed to aid revision for students wanting to progress their knowledge in oral health education.

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

Multiple choice questions are usually a one‐ or two‐line question that has several possible answers. They usually will provide some subject matter in the first line and the second line will ask the question; sometimes these will be combined. The answers will be written in alphabetical or numerical order and only one answer will be correct. Each question is worth one mark.

All of the questions are written in the same format; therefore, the student will need to have the relevant knowledge to apply to the scenario of the question in order to answer it correctly and score one mark.

During the exam, the student will have a marking sheet on which their answers should be marked in pencil with a single horizontal line through the appropriate square. Only one box should be marked for each question otherwise the computer marking system will reject the student's answer for that question and will leave the student without a mark. The marking system will also reject any question that is marked with a cross (x), a tick (✓), or a circle (◽).

Extended Matching Questions (EMQ)

Extended matching questions are in the same format as the multiple choice questions; however, the student is often given a scenario to provide background information, and then follows the question. There are a minimum of six answers to choose from, usually at least 8, and the same option list is used for at least two questions. Each of the lists of answers are based around one topic.

The student will mark the answers on a marking sheet in pencil with a single horizontal line through the appropriate square. Only one box should be marked for each question otherwise the computer marking system will reject the student's answer for that question and leave the student without a mark. The marking system will also reject any question that is marked with a cross (x), a tick (✓), or a circle (◽).
