Importing questions and Question Banks

Hi Deborah,

Let me try to assist as best I can. For the first question, you can delete the question slides if the questions are already in the question bank as they are now separately stored in the question bank from what I know. To test functionality I usually create a back up of the story before trying something out.

For the second question, is there any reason for the segregation of the questions into separate question banks? If none, you can store all the questions into one Question bank and have the draw question pull 25 from that Question Bank. This should provide the effect desired and lessen the number of Draw question slides as well.

I hope that helps, let me know how it goes.

 

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your help. That doesn't answer my answer about question banks. I have different topics and want different amounts of questions from those topics to be in my test. That's why I have separate question banks. Thanks, Jan.

Hi Deborah,

I completely understand. From what I can tell, there is no way to configure the Question bank's number of questions drawn through a trigger. A longer route would be to build one scene for each topic, have several draw question slides with different number of questions drawn per slide. Then have the first slide function as follows:

1. Create variable "Random"

2. Create trigger: Set variable Random to value between 1 and 25 when slide starts.

3. Go to slide "5 questions" when Random variable changes. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 5.

4. Go to slide "10 questions" when Random variable changes. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 10 and greater than 5.

5. Go to slide "15 questions" when Random variable changes. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 15 and greater than 10

6. Go to slide "20 questions" when Random variable changes. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 20 and greater than 15.

7. Go to slide "25 questions" when Random variable changes. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 25 and greater than 20.

8. Once you jump to the next scene after the quiz, Set variable random to value between 1 and 20 when the slide starts. If Random Variable is equal to or less than 5.

9. Set the variable Random to value between 1 and 15 when the slide starts. If Random variable is equal to or less than 10 and greater than 5.

10. Repeat as necessary until the last scene.

It's tedious but should be close to the effect desired.

I hope this helps better than the previous suggestion.

 

Hi Deborah,

Thanks for contacting us to walk us through what you are working on and asking some clarifying questions.

You're correct, importing the questions into your project first is required to then add then to a question bank. The duplicate slides could then be deleted to clean up your project a bit.

With regards to having different topics and random questions pulled for each one, you are also correct in that multiple question banks are the key. There is no way to divide a larger question bank into sections or pools, as you can in Quizmaker.
