[edit] Randomization

If you choose to use randomization, the quiz will automatically select a random set of questions from the total question pool in the root level of your quiz. For example you might set the value to 10. 10 questions will then be selected from the question bank for this quiz and asked in a random order. If you have 10 or fewer questions in the question bank, then all of the questions will be asked, but still in a random order.

Randomization is useful if you are expecting quiz takers to re-sit the quiz repeatedly. The more questions in your pool the better as it reduces the chances that they will see the same questions time after time.

Randomization works by generating a specified number of randomized quizzes when you publish the quiz - then one of these 'pre-randomized' quizzes is selected for the user to take when he accesses the quiz. You set or change the number of pre-randomized quizzes to be loaded as part of the Quiz Details set up. Remember to upload all of the files generated when you publish the quiz online.

With the Professional Version you can randomly choose which sections are used too. Quiz randomization randomizes what's directly inside the quiz and doesn't change what is inside sections or subsections. (Either a whole section will be asked or not asked and count as one selection.) Section properties also allows you to further randomize what appears inside sections.
