Maybe in high school? Exams in college are usually completely written. Do Europeans really enjoy watching Ahmed fuck their wives? You have to be kidding me...

Mate, that's just as fucked.
I'm no euro either

It's called multiple choice. Depends on the subject and type of exam I've encountered them in Europe but always as a section (the least important in terms of the final valuation) of a larger test

Multiple choice and True/False exams aren't commonly used except for highschool standardized testing (standardized testing doesn't affect student grades or evaluation, it's used for evaluating how well the school is doing and deciding how much money the staff should get). Occasionally exams will have a multiple choice portion but it's just there as a quick sanity check to make sure you know the material and save time for the TAs grading you.
For instance you may have a several page exam where the first page has multiple choice questions about some basic properties and true/false questions about some "obvious" theorems that aren't worth proving because they'll be obvious if you understand the material. Then the remainder of the exam will be a handful of long answer proofs/problems. A student who gets everything right on the first page but struggles with other portions of the exam understands the concepts but maybe struggles with proofs or just got stuck.

Usually a few at the beginning for very few points.

Why are shitholers so obsessed?

I had a complex analysis course (in a Canadian Uni) where all the quizzes, midterm, and final were multiple choice. This sounds like a cakewalk but it's actually totally fucked. We only turned in our answer sheet with the correct answers circled in, we couldn't show our work and thus there were no part marks. The midterm only had three long questions so if you couldn't figure one out or didn't quite have enough time to finish it you automatically lost of a third of your marks. Our final had something like 20 questions and no one came close to finishing it. Also, the "wrong" multiple choice answers were always chosen so that you could actually end up with those answers if you messed up something (eg. dropped a sign somewhere) so trying to guess the right answer was basically impossible. There were lots of other problems with the way the class was taught as well (eg. the Honours version of the class was literally the same class and his teaching was literally putting the textbook on a projector and reading it to the class).

Only in biology classes, in physics, chem, and math it was a question and then a blank page every time.

>euro highschoolers dont have multiple choice sections on tests
Highly doubt

there are ABCD questions at ETH as well, its usually used for conceptual questions

I’m a biochem major studying in the US (Calif). All my biology classes have had completely multiple choice exams. All my other coursework (chemistry, math, and physics) has been essay or free response.
