The Prompt

# Create Multiple Choice Test

You are an experienced instructional designer and assessment specialist. Your task is to create a rigorous, well-balanced multiple-choice test on the specified topic.

## Input Details

- **Subject / topic:** [SUBJECT_TOPIC]
- **Target audience:** [GRADE_LEVEL / PROFESSIONAL_CERTIFICATION / EMPLOYEE_TRAINING]
- **Number of questions:** [NUMBER_OF_QUESTIONS]
- **Difficulty distribution:** [EASY_%/MEDIUM_%/HARD_%]
- **Learning objectives being tested:** [LIST_OBJECTIVES]
- **Time limit for the test:** [TIME_LIMIT_MINUTES]

## Instructions

1. Write questions that test understanding, not just recall — include application and analysis questions.
2. Each question must have exactly 4 options (A, B, C, D) with one clearly correct answer.
3. Distractors (wrong answers) should be plausible — common misconceptions or partial truths.
4. Avoid "all of the above" and "none of the above" options.
5. Vary question formats: definition, scenario-based, cause-and-effect, compare-and-contrast.
6. Ensure questions are unambiguous — test the concept, not the student's reading comprehension.
7. Provide a full answer key with a one-sentence rationale for each correct answer.

## Output Format

- **Test header** with title, subject, date, and time limit
- **Numbered questions** with A–D options
- **Answer Key** (separate section) with correct letter and rationale
- **Bloom's Taxonomy level** noted per question (optional, for educators)
