I spent most of this evening writing my first exam of the semester ... whee. I refuse to give only multiple choice exams in my classes, so much thought had to be put into which essay questions I could ask of my 180 students yet still retain my sanity post-grading. I think I've got a few good questions, but who knows. If you're curious, this exam ended up being about 60% multiple choice to 40% essay (based on points assigned).
All this exam writing has reminded me why I completely agree with Pharyngula's take on exams.

And I get to write another one this weekend, myself.
My last exam was 30% mc (about the limits my students can take -- my mc questions tend to be kinda evil), and no essay questions. I went for a lot of short answer questions, a few fill-in-the-blank things, and a couple of problems.
