How to use the question and answer randomization option

This article explains how to use the question-and-answer randomization option for tests that are manually created but also for tests that are generated.

About randomization options #

The following options are possible when creating a test:

  • If the Question randomization option is enabled, each candidate will have a different order of questions.
  • If the Answer randomization option is enabled, each candidate will have a different order of answers.

Note: It is possible to disable both options simultaneously, enable just one of these two options, or enable both.

Randomization in a manually created test #

The following rules apply to a manually created test:

  • Answers with Ordering and Matching question types are always randomized.
  • Answers with Essay, True/false, Matrix, Open-ended, and Hot Spot questions always have the same answer order.
  • Multiple and Single choice questions always have the same answer order by default but can be randomized by enabling the Answer randomization option.
