Show only one question group out of many

Jul 18, 2017

Hello. I am building a quiz where I have 4 question groups (20 questions each). The questions are similar in each group and I need the user to access to only one (random) question group and answer all the questions there. I don't need the questions inside the groups to be randomized, I need one question group to appear only (random out of 4), but all the questions to appear in order.
Similar like having a test in school with 4 different groups of questions and you give randomly one of the 4 groups to the student. Is there a possibility this to be done in QuizMaker? Thanks

Hello Marko! Interesting question and need. Thinking to your second idea, did you try to organize your questions into groups when linking? The first question of each group could be pulled random and the subsequent questions are linked, forcing the user to complete that path.

Check out this tutorial.

Otherwise, hopefully someone in the community has an idea to share with you.

I haven't really worked with question banks but I think Leslie has the gist of it.  JavaScript can generate a random number for you to load in a variable. The variable's value would point to the bank you want to display. If you want to avoid JavaScript, check out my response to a non-JS dice roll here: link You could do something similar but have the action be based on the user clicking a "choose/launch assessment" button instead of dice.  Regardless of the method, you will end up with a random number between 1 and 4 that can be used to direct navigation down a specific path/assessment.
