↑ It is helpful on tests where students can all the quesitons if true/false questions are always written in pairs so that students don't just remember the nature of the question and the correct (true/false) answer. Having them memorize both questions will encourage them to actually learn it. This flaw in the Quizbank concept can eventually be repaired by arranging for instructors to secretly write questinos, for example on [Miraheze],
