> how wise it is for the US education system to be based so heavily on multiple choice questions

Who said anything about "US education system"?

Where in the original article does it say "US"?



Interestingly, in Israel they call a test with multiple choice questions "an American test".


Well, the question uses the word "freshmen", which I believe is US-only.


That's the point! Evaluating knowledge of university-level topics with childish multiple choice questions is so strongly associated with the United States that there's not that much doubt it's a US test.
