Forcing Minimal Question Reuse on later Attempts

Hello everyone,

I've got a bit of a weird requirement.
I need to ensure that as few questions get reused between attempts as possible, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Currently I have a question bank with 60 questions, and it's set to draw 30 questions randomly each attempt. The issue is that when it draws another 30 questions on a later attempt, it is likely going to take questions that have already been answered in previous attempts, resulting in around 50% new questions.
Is there a way to set it so that it has a maximum number of questions that it reuses or have it prioritize unused questions in some way?

    Hi Aidan,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Each slide draw will be treated as a new draw from a Question Bank, so it'll be randomized again and could present the same question to a user. One way other course authors got around this limitation is to use multiple question banks containing their own set of unique questions. Take for example three question banks, A, B, and C.

    If a student fails the draw from Question Bank A, instead of giving them the option to retry the quiz and risk a question getting redrawn, you can redirect them to either Question Bank B or C for a completely fresh set of questions. I'll let other members chime in as well in case they have other solutions for you to check out!
