How to create a quiz

Matching can be created in a "text" or "Excel" format.

  • text
  • Excel
  • Quiz/exam creation form

The first line, starting with #, is the setting for the entire quiz. The question data is entered between blank lines. The first line of each block is the question sentence, the second line should be "match:", and the third and subsequent lines are the "correspondence source::correct answer choices". In the real player, the source of the correspondence is fixed and the choices are randomly sorted.

In the following example, the first question reads, "Sort from the older period."
The correct answer choices, from top to bottom, are "Tokyo" for "Japan," "Beijing" for "China," "Seoul" for "South Korea," and "Hanoi" for "Vietnam."
