Abstract	Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are becoming more common in UK psychology departments and the need to assess their reliability is apparent. Having examined the reliability of MCQs in our department we faced many questions from colleagues about why we were examining reliability, what it was that we were doing, and what should be reported when examining the reliability of MCQ exams. This paper addresses the most frequently asked questions. (Contains 1 table, 4 figures, and 5 footnotes.) (As Provided).
