Matching (MAT)

Matches are two terms separated by an equals sign (=).

Note

  • Answer options are always randomized
  • The default grading method is set to "All or nothing"; this can be changed manually (see alternate methods) in the LMS.
  • Matches must have choices in a 1:1 ratio (blank choices can be added manually in the LMS).

Info

Use the format:

a. Choice 1 = Match 1
b. Choice 2 = Match 2
c. Choice 3 = Match 3

    a. 3 + 2 = 5 == Correct
    b. 2 + 2 = 5 == Incorrect
