This is a bit of ageneralisation so don't tell me off if you're different to the following.
Why is it that (in general) people don't want/ like to do exams and tests but don't mind quizzes and brainteasers? Etc Etc.
They're basically the same thing but with a different name although with exams and tests you're usually working on your own, but you might be on your own doing a quiz or brainteaser to pass the time ie on a long journey.
One of probably many perculiarities in life . . . .

Isn't it an urban myth about GCSE exams being based on multiple choice questions nowadays? I teach GCSE maths, and for the exam board we use there are no multiple choice questions.
It seems to me multiple choice questions were actually more common 30-40 years ago. Many of my 'O' level exams included a section based on multiple choice, so it's not a modern day feature of exams

Factor, like i say in some exams there are multiple choice. The chem paper i ddi in january was 1/2 multiple choice, 1/4 maths, 1/4 other random chemsitry knowledge.
Biology had a few tick boxes a couple of claculations and a few 1 word/ sentences questions and 2 half page questions. Maths had 1 section on quick 1 or 2 mark answers then a section on longer question where if you can't do the first part, you can't answer the rest of it.
at gcse history, english and RE were a combination of answers between 1 sentence and 2 pages long.
Art was a huge final piece with a 2 page evaluation.
Geography had answers between 1 and 10 sentences long.
sciences had a few multiple choice questions aswell as 1 word/number answers and a few that were a sentence or two long plus some diagrams to draw.
And maths had no multiple choice question but some question were quicker to work out than other.
