Quiz Questions Randomly Selected from Several Quiz Banks

Aug 28, 2013

Does Storyline have the logic to NOT display a question that was already "randomly" selected in a previous placeholder slide for a different quiz bank?  In other words, during the SAME quiz, not a retake, will SL AVOID selecting the same T/F question, if it already displayed it previously, say three questions earlier?

Thanks.  I understand that on a quiz retry or retake there is always the chance that the same question will be displayed again, but during the initial quiz can this happen?  Captivate will note this and avoid displaying the same question again during the one quiz.

Thanks Leslie, all of the responses from you and Ashley, plus a thread I did not know about earlier, have convinced me to go back to less quiz banks with more questions (to select seven out of fourteen overall questions) and then test it heavily to see how many duplicate questions I receive.  I still think that logically I should not get any duplicate questions asked in the same quiz occurrence, if I do not have the same question in different banks.

I do understand how randomly selecting questions will cause question duplication in quiz retries.
