Matching questions
“Matching” is a variant of multiple-choice and is seen as an objective technique (Khalifa & Weir, 2009: 85). Two sets of stimuli must be matched with each other, for example, “matching headings” of paragraphs to their corresponding paragraph, titles of books with extracts with the relevant book, and so on. “Matching headings” is a common testing technique in the IELTS reading test; the percentage can be found in Table 1 (see p. 15).
