Design interactive and flexible matching tests that evaluate classification, association, and analytical skills, all within a secure, scalable platform.
With TestInvite, you can create your own matching test that fits your goals: whether you need fast setup, multimedia integration, randomized delivery, or advanced scoring logic. From simple pairings to complex classification tasks, our platform gives you control without the complexity.
A matching test presents candidates with two related sets, such as terms and definitions, items and categories, or images and labels, and asks them to pair each item with its correct counterpart. This format is ideal for assessing logical reasoning, association skills, and detailed knowledge in areas like language learning, science, geography, and compliance training.
Creating a matching exam doesn’t require a long checklist as TestInvite simplifies the process.
Head to the Tests module to create a new test. Give it a name and, if needed, a description. Sections and pages help organize your content. The first ones are auto-generated to get you started right away.
TestInvite gives you advanced, yet intuitive control over how your matching tests behave. With just a few clicks, you can configure key settings to match your assessment style and security needs.
Choose the Test Type to define how your test behaves, whether you want it focused on right/wrong scoring, personality inventories, or subjective interviews.
Adjust Navigation Control to decide if participants can freely move through sections, move backward only, or follow a strict sequential order without skipping ahead.
You can also set precise Time Limits at the test or section level, defining exactly how long participants have to complete their tasks, or choose to have no limit at all.
With these settings at your fingertips, you can tailor the experience for high-stakes exams, practice tests, or skill assessments while ensuring fairness, clarity, and control across devices.
TestInvite provides multiple ways to create matching questions:
Matching questions can be designed with:
You can set minimum and maximum numbers of matches required, ensuring candidates engage with the task as intended, and reduce guessing through careful option pool design.
You can enrich both the question text and the items in various ways making it easy to create reading, listening, or visual reasoning tasks within your matching format.
Matching questions support advanced scoring logic:
After answering, candidates can receive dynamic feedback that explains correct matches and clarifies why distractors were incorrect, shown immediately or after the test.
Matching questions integrate seamlessly with TestInvite’s full security suite:
You can also control access via invitation codes, login credentials, or PINs, and deliver tests to individuals or groups through bulk registration and customizable email invitations.

Matching tests allow you to cover many concepts efficiently in one question, minimize random guessing, and assess classification skills effectively. Their flexible design means they can suit a wide range of learning objectives and evaluation scenarios.
They require thoughtful design to avoid ambiguity or confusion. Overly large or poorly balanced option pools can frustrate candidates or reduce the assessment’s value. Matching primarily evaluates recognition and association, not open-ended reasoning.
Matching tests are ideal for all kinds of pairing logic assessments, such as:
With TestInvite, matching tests become a strategic tool for building clear, engaging, and reliable assessments that adapt to your needs.
From academic evaluations to certification programs and workplace training, TestInvite helps you create matching quizzes that are both scalable and effective.
