Answer to Question 1

To ensure to the extent possible that your students are able to perform successfully with a multiple-choice format, you should provide them with practice using the format. For instance, you can give them problems to solve as you always do on your quizzes and tests and then give them four answer choices, one of which is correct, and the distractors being answers that reflect the most common errors students make.

Answer to Question 2

You should first remain calm and avoid becoming angry. Second, you should firmly, but not threateningly, tell the student to step outside so you can talk to him or her. Finally, if the student refuses to step outside, you should immediately send another student for help, or call security if your school has a process for doing so.
