The Belgium CAA publihed an AltMoC on the number of questions per subject and the option for a computer-based exam.

Under the corresponding AMC the distribution was sometimes stricter than the minimal pass rate of 75% due to number of questions not being divisible by 4.

Point your CAA to this AltMoC when you are in conversation with them on this topic.

Good to harmonise with maintenance training where number of multiple choice questions always has to be a multiple of four to allow a sharp line at 75%.

Funny thing is that there is room to do so under the FCL, but when the split to SFCL and BFCL was made they introduced (I assume non intentional) 10 questions for some topics, making it 80%. Not lighter, but stricter :-D

Other interesting fact about this AltMoC is that it is introduced by the Belgium CA. Who at time of writing don't take any theoretical exams :-P

In the UK, when we updated the LAPL/PPL Exams with the UK CAA a few years ago, we ensured that all exam topics were divisible by four.
Of the 9 LAPL/PPL topics, 3 have 16 questions and 6 have 12.
