Format

Format of Matching Questions

In this type of question, you are required to match a list of items to a set of questions. The format  of this question varies from the paper-based test to the computer-delivered test. Learn about the differences below. 

Each of the choices will have a letter and they will be displayed in a box. You will have to select the correct letter for each of the questions and then transfer your answers to the answer sheet. Look at the example below:

Questions 1 – 5

Who is responsible for each area? Choose your answers from the box and write the correct letter A – H next to questions 1 – 5.

   A  Finance

   B   Food

   C   Health

   D   Kid’s Counselling

   E   Organisation

   F   Rooms

   G   Sports

   H   Trips

 

1 Mary Brown       ______

2 John Stevens    ______

3 Alison Jones     ______

4 Tim Smith         ______

5 Jenny James    ______

The possible answers are usually on the right of the screen. They are individually found within a box and are not labelled with a letter as in the paper-based test. To answer, you need to move the box of your chosen answer to the gap next to the question on the left.
