Constructing exams

Hi, I want to set up a multiple choice exam, with 30 questions to be taken by the user once he/she has completed a course.
I have set up a question bank,from which to draw questions.
I'm aware that you can randomise the questions so that they don't appear in the same order, but what I need to do is have question themes, from which questions can be drawn. So far example , a subset containing questions on topic X, from which you can draw selected questions, and then say another subset on topic Y, from which I would also need to draw questions.
Is this possible ?

Hi Altan,
Yes
create separate question banks for topic x and topic y and then your result slide that is based on both QB's.
Hi Wendy
Ok, great.
l'll have a go at this in results slide
Thanks
Hi Altan
here is a sample file.
Two quiz banks each with 4 questions but set to only draw 2 randomly from each one. There are colours on the questions so you can distinguish which bank they come from.
Hope this helps
Hi Wendy, that's brilliant, works fine !
Hi Wendy
Thanks for the template,. I was still a little unsure about how to select some of the questions from the subset, but your template explains it perfectly !
Glad it helped Altan
Hi Wendy
I don't know if you can help me on this subject again ?
I've copied and expanded this file that you gave me and I inserted in to my course. It worked initially but as I've made later versions of the course I noticed it no longer calculates the score or displays the passing score ?
I also noticed that the conditions for the slide trigger for success and failure don't save.
So I created number variables for Results.ScorePercent, Results.ScorePoints, Results.PassPercent and Results.PassPoints. Though I noticed that these aren't saving ?
What am I doing wrong Wendy ?
Hi Altan
the four Results.xx variables are system generated you can't manually create them. They won't be saving I expect as they are conflicting with the internal ones.
Do you want to upload the .story file and I'll take a look at what's going on.
Oh right, silly me. I've worked around it by using an earlier version of my work. I must have messed up the slides on the latest draft in some way to stop it working. Initially I cut and pasted the results slide in to the latest version, but the number variables weren't there of course, so that's why it wouldn't work.
