# Question groups and randomization Speechace allows you to add questions into groups and present a subset of them to the test takers in a random order. This combination helps you to reduce the risk of cheating and ensures fairer testing environment. Let's delve deeper into these features: ### Question Groups A question group is a collection of questions that are grouped together based on a topic, skill or difficulty level. For example, if you're testing pronunciation skills, you can create a **"Pronunciation"** Group that includes all questions focused on evaluating the test taker's pronunciation. *** ### Randomization of the order of questions Building upon the flexibility of question groups, Speechace also offers the option to present a subset of questions from a question group in a random order. This means that each test-taker sees the questions in a unique sequence. By randomizing the order of questions, you can make it harder for the test takers to share answers during an exam. This also promotes fairness because each test taker gets a different sequence of questions, which helps to avoid any unfair advantage that might happen if questions appear in the same order. *** In the following sections, we'll explore how to set up question groups, enable random order within those groups, and configure group-specific weights and maximum scores: 1.
