Adding a randomized question set to a quiz or exam

Designers can, for example, add 20 questions to a question set and then set up the quiz so that students are only required to answer 5 of the questions from the question set. The questions will be picked randomly from the question set so that the students will answer different combinations of questions when doing the quiz. The designer must make sure that questions added to a question set are the same level of difficulty. If you are covering multiple topics in an exam and would like to make sure all students are answering questions from each topic area then you would add a question set for each topic area and then choose how many questions should be answered for each topic. You will see each topic area come up as a separate set in the exam.

1. Once you’ve created the exam it is now time to add your questions from each chapter or topic.

2. Click on the Add question set button.

3. Select the questions you want to add to the question set by clicking on the check box to the left of the question titles. Note that if you click next to a folder that all the questions in that folder will automatically be selected.

4. Click on the Add selected button. The questions are added to the quiz/survey and the Quiz/Survey Editor screen.

5. Select the number of questions you require the student to answer from the drop-down menu within the question set.

6. Type in the value for the questions in the question set in the Points column. This value is the amount that each question in the question set will be worth.

7. Click on the Update total button at the bottom of the window. The total points for the quiz are updated.
