Feature Spotlight: Study Suite® Matching, a Fun Game that Makes Learning Stick

Tired of Flashcards and Practice Questions? Try Matching Instead

Let’s be honest—studying for the RD or DTR exam can feel repetitive. Reading, answering questions, reviewing explanations… rinse and repeat. While those methods are essential, they can also lead to burnout.

That’s exactly why we created one of the most-loved features in Study Suite: Matching.

It’s interactive. It’s engaging. And most importantly—it works.

The Matching feature is available in all package levels of the desktop Study Suite software and in the Study Suite Anywhere web app.

Matching is a dynamic learning activity where you pair related terms or concepts from two columns. Think of it as a smarter, more interactive version of flashcards.

• Select a term or phrase from the left column
• Select its match from the right column
• Hit Submit to check your answer

If you’re correct, both items are color-coded and an explanation appears to reinforce your understanding. If not, you’ll receive a strike—but don’t worry, you’ve got room to learn.

Five strikes, and the game ends—but every attempt helps strengthen your knowledge.

We consistently hear from students that Matching is one of their favorite features—and for good reason.

Getting started is simple:

• Choose a category—or explore them all
• Select a topic from the left-side list
• Use the keyword search to quickly find specific content
• Match items from the left and right columns
• Click Submit to check your answer

If you’re stuck, you can use the Surrender option to reveal the correct match along with a detailed explanation—perfect for learning in the moment.

Matching isn’t just a game—it’s a full learning experience. (desktop features only)

Matching is more than just a fun break—it’s a strategic study tool designed to improve retention, reinforce connections, and keep you engaged.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or burned out, this might be exactly what you need to refresh your study routine.
