Random Blocks are used to give each student a different set of questions in the same test. A subset of questions from one or more question pools is chosen at random each time the test is taken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Access a Test<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A random block is added to a test being created or already created<\/a>. If the test is already created, open its contextual menu and click edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Edit<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a Random Block<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From the menu, click on Reuse Question<\/strong>, then click Create Random Block<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Create<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Add Questions to the Test<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the Create Random Block popup window, select one or more pools. Random Blocks draw questions from pools only, so your questions should be added to the pool in a previous step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Select question types you want in the random block, all questions that meet the chose criteria will appear in the window. Then click Submit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Edit the Number of Questions to Display<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After the Random Block is added to the test, you can edit the number of questions to display<\/em> to students. You should use a number less than the total number of questions on the Random Block to ensure different random set each time the test is accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Edit the Points Per Question<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can also assign the Points per question <\/strong><\/em>value for questions in the Random Block. Questions should be of the same difficulty as they all get the same points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can view and edit individual questions by expanding Preview questions that match selected criteria <\/em>in the Random Block. Then scroll down and Click OK to return to the Test page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
