Randomizing Question Banks
Hi!
I'm working on building an exam that requires randomization and a limited number of questions (2/5) that are pulled from each question bank (60 banks organized by difficulty and question type). Additionally the content creators want to be able to randomize the order of the question banks so that each student taking the exam would get a different ordering of the types of questions.
Is this possible? If so can someone assist me?
Thank you,
Shelley

Hi,
Yes I'm familiar with question banks and how to set them up. I am wondering if it is possible to randomize the question banks themselves. My question banks are set up by types of questions. I would like to have two levels of randomization, one in which the questions are random but also one that randomizes the groupings of questions aka the question banks themselves. I've not seen this as a possibility as of yet, but am asking the community if there is a way to do it.

I know this is a bit dated, but I have the exact same need now. Do we know if this feature has been developed since this post? The above solution (single merged question bank) would not work in my case because I need to ensure that a certain number of items are drawn from specific categories of questions (organized into question banks).
Hey Jane. I have some questions for clarity for you:
Tell me a little more about what you mean when you say set the entire test to randomize. If you've got a mockup that you can share, that would be super helpful, too!
Are you having an issue with repeat questions between quizzes?
Hi Shelley
have you seen the SL2 tutorials about using QBs.
