I doubt it. The multiple choice questions aren't as straight forward as you think.
If I remember from my undergraduate, from the answers there were at least two correct ones. The trick to picking the right one was imbedded in the question, so you had to know something ABOUT the question as well as the answer.
You could pick a right answer and still be wrong.
I felt like pulling my hair out sometimes.Also, in most of my big lower level classes, the tests would be about 200-250 questions spanning 3-4 chapters or (even worse) a half a semester worth of the course. We had one hour to complete the test
Essay questions suck because you have not only know the material, but be able to express it coherently.
But it my experience, things are rough all over.
