However, you can use the &#8220;Multiple choice grid&#8221; or &#8220;Checkbox grid&#8221; option to create a matching-style question. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n<h4>1. Open Google Forms:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 Go to Google Forms.<br \/>\n   \u2022 Click on the &#8220;+ Blank form&#8221; to start a new form.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Title and Description:<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineexammaker.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/1-edit-quiz-title.webp\" alt=\"\"  \/><br \/>\n   \u2022 Provide a title and description for your matching quiz.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Add a Matching Question:<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineexammaker.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/2-matching-question-edit.webp\" alt=\"\"  \/><br \/>\n   \u2022 Click the &#8220;+&#8221; button to add a question.<br \/>\n   \u2022 From the dropdown menu of question types, select &#8220;Multiple choice grid&#8221; or &#8220;Checkbox grid&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>(Note: &#8220;Multiple choice grid&#8221; ensures that each item in Column A matches with only one item from Column B. &#8220;Checkbox grid&#8221; would allow for multiple selections, which you probably don\u2019t want for a simple matching quiz.)<\/p>\n<div class=\"refer_box\">\n<p class=\"refer_box_title\">Pro Tip<\/p>\n<p class=\"refer_box_text\">You can build engaging online quizzes with our <a href=\"https:\/\/onlineexammaker.com?refer=blog_refer\">free online quiz maker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>4. Set Up the Grid:<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineexammaker.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3-matching-questions-answer.webp\" alt=\"\"  \/><br \/>\n   \u2022 In the rows, input the items from Column A (e.g., Apple, Dog, Bicycle).<br \/>\n   \u2022 In the columns, input the items from Column B (e.g., Fruit, Animal, Vehicle).<\/p>\n<p>(Tip: To increase difficulty or reduce the likelihood of correct guesses, you can add more options in Column B than there are items in Column A.)<\/p>\n<h4>5. Adjust Settings for the Grid:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 Turn on the option &#8220;Limit to one response per column&#8221; (if you&#8217;re using the Multiple choice grid). This ensures that each item in Column A can only be matched to one item in Column B.<\/p>\n<h4>6. Continue Adding Questions:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 If you want to add more matching questions or other types of questions, click the &#8220;+&#8221; button again.<\/p>\n<h4>7. Form Settings:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 Click on the gear\/settings icon to adjust general settings. For example, you might want to shuffle question order to ensure that the matching pairs are randomized for each respondent.<\/p>\n<h4>8. Design and Presentation:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 Customize the look of your quiz by clicking on the palette icon.<br \/>\n   \u2022 Opt for a color theme or use a custom image to personalize the background.<\/p>\n<h4>9. Sharing and Distributing:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 Once your matching quiz is complete, click the &#8220;Send&#8221; button to share it. Distribute via email, generate a link, or embed it on a website.<\/p>\n<h4>10. Review Responses:<\/h4>\n<p>   \u2022 To view the answers, go to the &#8220;Responses&#8221; tab in Google Forms. Here you&#8217;ll see a summary and individual responses. You can also link the results to a Google Sheet for a more detailed analysis.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2\">OnlineExamMaker: An alternative way to create an online matching quiz<\/h3>\n<p>With OnlineExamMaker quiz maker, teachers can easily create, customize, and distribute quizzes with just a few clicks.
