Being a Physics major, the last time I took multiple choice exams were in high school. OK, the first year courses had some multiple choices, but they generally counted a small portion of the grades. Now, in my MedPhys courses, all exams have a large multiple choice component, usually north of 50 percent. Before you call this program easy, let me just assure you that multiple choice questions are probably the hardest exam you can take as a Physics major, besides an oral exam. Simply put, if you don't know, there's no way for you to pretend you know something, or how much other stuff you know. Plus, there's no way for your grader to have sympathy for you and assume that you "understand the concept". In fact, the hardest questions are generally the multiple choice questions.
Apparently, professional exams tend to have large multiple choice components as well. So I better get used to this.
