How to set up test that picks only one entire question bank?
I have a course which has three possible 'exam papers' at the end.
Could I achieve a random selection of one entire set of questions by using question banks? (i.e. Question Bank 1 = Paper 1, etc.)
If so, what sort of triggers would I need to create to make sure the learner only has to sit one Question Bank (per attempt)?
How do I make sure the the pass/fail from that is then carried through to a mark to enable the course to be passed (I'm concerned the system will want all three question banks completed to generate the final mark and pass).

Hi, Charlotte.
Thank you for reaching out!
My suggestion for you would be to create a random variable (let's call it Quiznumber) with number values from 1 to 3.
When the learner clicks the button to start the quiz, depending on the value of the variable, they will be taken to a specific draw from the question bank:
When you publish for LMS, you can track all three exams. The way multiple completion criteria works is whichever option a learner completes first is the one that gets reported to your LMS. (Only one option gets sent to the LMS, even if a learner completes multiple criteria.):
The article below will give you additional information on multiple completion criteria:
I hope this helps!
Hi Maria,
Thanks for your help. I have mocked up a dummy course (snapshot of storyview attached).I have tested it on our LMS and the random selection of the 'paper' seems to be working.
I then wanted to check the results were feeding through: I can see I have passed the course when I run "Report 8" that looks for users who have passed or failed a course with or without assessments.
My initial choice was "Report 1" which is for users who have submitted and have passed or failed courses with assessments only, but I kept getting a message saying the course has no assessment. Any thoughts why this might be? I thought the fact that each of the 'papers' are marked up as final assessment should mean Report 1 was more appropriate
Hi, Charlotte.
Thank you for the additional information!
Those reports seem to be specific to your LMS, so it's a little difficult to know what might be causing this. My first suggestion would be to test your course with SCORM Cloud to rule out LMS issues. Check out this step-by-step article on troubleshooting with SCORM Cloud!
If you still see the same behavior there, or if you need help testing it, I recommend sharing your .story file through a support case so we can see what's going on.
