1. “An exam question in which students must uniquely associate prompts and options is called a
matching question.” Students respond to questions by pairing each of a set of stems (e.g., definitions) with one of the choices provided on the exam.

2. short answer questions are typically composed of a brief prompt that demands a written answer that varies in length from one or two words to a few sentences. They are most often used to test basic knowledge of key facts and terms.
