Summary. Recent research on multiple choice questions has identified deficiencies of inadequate content‐equivalence and item‐writer bias. Systematic methods of writing multiple choice questions are being advocated as effective responses. This article describes preliminary development of a new item‐writing method. Details of the procedure, called item modelling, are provided.
