Hi Experts

I have the following doubts:

  • Can a quiz be run in a random way (order of the questions not always the same)?
  • Can I have a quiz of 20 questions but run it in a way that picks 10 of them randomly when running it?

Thanks a lot

Hi @negush2

As above in my colleague’s reply, this is something we can pass on to the wider team for feedback but is not possible:

Depending on how many quizzes you’re planning to run - you can always create a master quiz with all 20 questions and simply duplicate the quiz and randomize it yourself. Drag and drop questions to change the order and delete some of them at random. - This is still our workaround for this at the moment, maybe this could work for you. 

Let me know if you have any more questions, I’d be happy to assist! 

Going along with this - is there a way to randomize the order that the answers appear for each question so it isn’t the same every use?

Hi @pcavell,

There’s no way to randomise questions in a quiz, but you can re-order the questions yourself.

I can see how randomising quiz questions might be helpful so I’m passing it on :)

Hope this helps! 🤗

I have a SLIDO quiz of 40 questions. I would like to activate the quiz but have the questions presented in a random order (not 1 thru 40). I want to do this because I may use it multiple times and want to change up the question presentation order.

Thanks for any guidance.

Hi @Jose Belmonte,

It’s currently not possible to run a quiz in a way where the systems shows questions at random or just chooses a few of them at a time. 

Depending on how many quizzes you’re planning to run - you can always create a master quiz with all 20 questions and simply duplicate the quiz and randomize it yourself. Drag and drop questions to change the order and delete some of them at random. I do realize that this is extra work for you but this is the workaround. 

Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help with!
