How to Create Matching Questions

Adding questions into a Question Pool #

To add questions to a question pool, navigate to “Tests/Question pools.”

Create a new question pool or select one from the list. Once you access the pool, navigate to the “Questions” tab, and click on the “Add question” button.

Matching questions #

Select the “Matching” option in the dropdown menu.

Configure the question settings (difficulty, duration, scoring method, points, penalty, frequency). Users can choose between two scoring methods:

  • Defining correct/incorrect answers – The candidate has to select all the correct answers to achieve points
  • Manual grading – The candidate earns points after the test manager grades the question

Adding answers:

  • Click on the “Left” and “Right” buttons to add matching items.

  • Enter the answer on the left – enter the answer (text) on the left-hand side.
  • Enter the answer on the right – enter the answer (text) on the right-hand side.
  • Using the small dropdown, link the two items (that form the correct answer) by choosing a number on the left that corresponds to the correct option on the right.

Matching questions from a student’s perspective #

The test taker will need to match the answers on the left with the ones on the right by using the dropdown and picking the right ordinal number. They can:

Drag and drop the answers.

Choose the appropriate number or matching letter using the dropdown menu.

Type in the corresponding matching letter or number.

Drag a line to connect the answers.
