Abstract
A self-study course was designed in 2020 in such a way that the explicit objective of
study would be the exams based on multiple-choice questions. The idea was to let
students do what teachers often complain they do anyway, and to infiltrate some
learning as a byproduct of the memorizing procedure. Investigating how the ques-
tions are solved shows that this approach is suboptimal. Partial question disclosures,
intentional or not, and practice exams are common, whence the result and how it
was obtained can be useful elsewhere too.
