I have not taken an exam that was entirely done as a group. However, I have taken a multiple choice exam that was completed partly as individuals and partly as a group. This was for one of my nursing courses and the process used was as follows:  1) each student completed their own exam including a scantron bubble sheet, which they turned in. 2) students formed pre-determined groups to take the same exam a second time, but this time all group members had to discuss and agree on one answer for each question; answers were recorded on a single scantron bubble sheet with all group members names. 3) scores on the individual and group portions of the exam were assigned weights to calculate the final score. I think overall it was a great experience and most people benefited from the discussion:  those who struggled benefited from the knowledge/explanation of their peers and those with a firm grasp of the content got to apply their expertise to help others.  

if the meaning of group exams is to have same exam by the end for all students controlling for the possibilities of cheating, then do multiple format with the same questions. Just you need to scramble the questions order and or the options in MCQ.

Hello Benita,

I have taken many of them and thay all were very difficult. I remenber to this day it was in symboloc logic and we were doing truth derivations. By the end of one question 2 hours went by and 86 cervations later we were still wrong.

In building mathmatical proofs, and something called gaberials horn I believe.

So yes is my answer.

Thank you, everyone, for your answers.  I think the concept of 'group exam' is interesting, and I would like to apply it to the learning experience in my course next semester.  I appreciate your thoughts and your explanation of how the process worked in your class, Nicole.
