Matching questions work well for terms and definitions, phrases with other phrases, causes with effects, parts with larger units, and problems with solutions. Teaching students about matching test-taking strategies can greatly improve their performance on these tests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">One advantage of matching test items is that students can show their knowledge of a lot of material in a short amount of time. Matching test questions are easy for teachers to create. Their biggest disadvantage is that the questions are mostly knowledge levels of Bloom\u2019s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva;\">This is Part 3 in a five-part series.

Note that some tests may ask you to draw lines to match answers, and others may contain blanks for writing ABC answer choices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Determine the relationship between the items in Columns A and B. Common relationships include terms or symbols and their meanings, dates, events, people,\u00a0 accomplishments, and information about locations such as capitals and states.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Some challenging tests contain additional incorrect matches. Determine if Columns A and B are of equal lengths. You may have more items in one column that will not be used. Often the instructions will let you know if this is true.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Select one column. This can be either; however, starting with the column with the most information is often better. For example, with terms and definitions, start with the definitions column.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; color: #000000; font-size: 12pt;\">Read all the responses, trying to come up with matching answers without reading the answers provided. Reading through the entire set of test items is very important. Sometimes, one answer will appear correct until you read a better option later down the list. Reading through the options first will prevent you from making an incorrect match that will take a lot of time to figure out later.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Match each item against the items in the second column. Begin with matches which you are certain. Match as many items as you can. This means you will have fewer choices to decide between harder items. This is especially true with a test having a long matching section.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Cross out the letters you have used to avoid confusion.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Guess only when you are running out of time.
