If a question bank includes more than one subject matter, is there a way to ensure an equal number of questions is drawn from each subject matter when randomized draw is turned on?
Good question! These are the changes you can make to the question bank draw. For an equal number of questions per subject, I'd recommend separating the question banks.
If there are specific questions, then you could change those to "always".
On another note, I've encountered an interesting issue when it comes to taking an exam using the published SCORM in the LMS. It seems that using multiple question banks causes it to get stuck when you get to the last question in a question bank draw.
For example, if I have a question bank of 10 questions and tell it to randomly choose 4 questions, it gets stuck on the 4th question and in order to move forward I have to select the previous button first then hit next twice to move on the questions from the next question bank.
Sorry to hear that your course is getting stuck on that last question? Are you experiencing this while previewing as well, or only in the published output?
It behaves the same way in preview mode directly in SL as well. I have shared the file with you privately. Thanks in advance for your help. I took another look and it might not be the last question per draw. It might be the way certain questions are setup. For example, please take a look at the question bank "FMS Correctives" question #11. It happens every time this question comes up.
I found it. It looks like some of the questions had the trigger changed when I moved them from the scene to the question bank. I'm updating the affected ones right now and will retest to confirm.

Hi Philip!

Thank you, Lauren!
I was not aware of the "Include in Shuffle" options.

Has anyone else encountered this?

If you're able to share your file publicly here, feel free to do so by clicking Add Attachment, otherwise you can share it privately with me here, and I'll delete once I'm done taking a look!

Ren is out of the office today, but I've grabbed your case and will follow up with you there.
Hi Leslie,
It's working just fine now. I had forgotten to switch some triggers from Next Scene to Next Slide when converting a file to question banks.
Thanks!
Perfect. Thanks for the update, Philip :)
