Links to Question Banks

Often, the best questions are those that an instructor writes and polishes for his/her own course. However, there are many other useful sources of questions that can be posed in a multiple-choice format. Many textbooks come with accompanying question banks. On the Internet, you will find that many colleges and universities have posted homework problems as well as practice and actual exams (for example: http://ull.chemistry.uakron.edu/genobc/).
Please note, however, that these are typically copyrighted, so permissions should be obtained to use any of this material.

The sites listed below maintain question banks in specific disciplines. Some of the questions contained in them will need to be modified into a multiple choice format. Again, please be mindful of copyrights. (You will find that some of these sites are intended for you to use as a direct source of questions for your classroom.)
