Abstract

The chair of the Commercial Law Department of the Law School at Salta Catholic University implemented written multiple-choice exams to assess full-time students as from 2013. In 2018, the Galofré Index was applied to review the quality of the questions used in two different mid-term exams of the previous academic year. Of the 100 questions assessed, only 32 per cent were considered acceptable, establishing a low exam quality rate. The findings in both exams showed that the most common problems regarding the questions were the lack of sufficient case studies and the predominance of memory and recall questions. It was concluded that the faculty should receive training in question design in order to improve exam quality.
