Why generated MCQs are usually too easy
A question is only as good as its wrong answers. Most generators pull distractors from a fixed word list, or from anywhere in the document, so a question about photosynthesis ends up sitting beside 'the', 'and' and 'which'. You can answer that without reading the stem, and the mark it gives you means nothing. It measures whether you can spot an odd word out.
Length is the tell that gives a bad question away fastest. Students learn, often without noticing, that the longest and most technical-looking option is usually the right one. Here every distractor sits within three characters of the answer, so a twelve-letter term is offered against words of nine to fifteen letters taken from the same chapter.
Position is the second tell. Question banks written by hand drift towards putting the answer in the second or third slot, and anyone who has sat enough papers knows it. The four options are shuffled independently for each question, so there is no position worth guessing and no pattern to learn across a set.
