Like others, I feel this is too much. It turns the question into almost a mini research project (assuming there is some reasonable amount of checking needed). It's one thing to just scan through ten choices, but then if not immediately clear (in a false, false, true, false...series), than having to look at so many options and compare them is difficult--remember the human working memory (immediate cognition) probably can consider something like three to seven items at a time.

Also, if they are silly and don't really need checking, than there's little benefit of so much "chaff".

And then after running such a project-like enterprise, you still have a very digital result. And one with zero credit for partial work or for the second best of 10 options.

In addition, because of the added complexity, it means you can carry less total questions. So you're getting less statistical smoothing (of multiple tries).

In addition, I fail to see the benefit of so many options. Does one really have situations with ten likely options? And/or isn't it usually a bit of work even to get four or five (and test taking manuals explaining how often a couple of weaker choices or non-independent choices can be eliminated, even if the final choice of the smaller set not clear).

Finally students will not be familiar with it and you will be confounding anxiety about the material itself with anxiety about an unusual testing mechanism.
