Randomizing Questions Question - Can this be done?
Jan 13, 2017

Hello,
We have four sets of question banks with 30 questions in each set. We need to RANDOMLY CHOOSE one of these complete sets of questions for each person taking the quiz.
Is there a way of setting up these four sets of questions in a way that Quizmaker 13 can automatically RANDOMLY CHOOSE one set.
What we are trying to do is take a classroom based course where we would normally just randomly hand a student one of four question papers (each paper having 30 questions) and have Articulate randomly decide which of the course question sets it gives a student. (I hope that make sense!)
Any thoughts, help or direction would be appreciated.
Thanks for the help!

I'm not really familiar with quizmaker, but could you just put all of your questions in a question bank and pull from the questions at random? Or pull subsets of the quizzes from the four banks at random?
Hey Dave - If I'm understanding what you are asking correctly, then the answer is no. There is not a way to pull a full random set of questions. You can certainly pool and randomize questions within Quizmaker '13 though and perhaps this tutorial will assist.
Hi @Leslie,
That's a drag. Yes, basically we just wanted the system to 'lock' a set of 30 questions together and have 4 sets of those. The system would then just pick one of four question sets that have the 30 questions in there. Those set of 30 questions don't have to be randomised....just the four sets as if a teacher was randomly handing out an exam from a stack of exams papers.
Does that make better sense?
Thanks,
Dave
