Random order of questions

PreviousCreate question groupsNextTest Taker's View of random questions

Last updated 3 days ago

Speechace allows you to select a subset of questions from a group. This randomly selected subset of questions will be presented to the test taker in a random order every time.

As a result, each test taker may encounter a unique set of questions in a unique order from each group.

In this section, we will understand how to randomize question order in each group using the "Randomize" toggle highlighted in the image below:

Getting Started

  1. To randomize the order of questions in a question group, enable the "Randomize" toggle as shown in the image below:

  2. Once you enable the toggle, the "Questions to ask" field becomes editable, allowing you to specify the number of questions to be randomly selected from the group. As a result, test takers will see randomly chosen subset of questions presented in a unique order each time they take the test. For example, if a group has three questions and you enter "2" in the "Questions to ask" field (as shown below), the test taker will see two randomly chosen questions from those three, and the order they appear in will be different each time.

  3. The total number of questions that will be shown to the test taker is displayed in the Red highlighted "Questions to ask" field at the top right of the image. This number is a sum of the specific number of questions you selected to be asked from each individual group. As shown below, the first group contains three questions, with two selected, and the second contains two, with one selected, as highlighted in the image below in Blue. Therefore, the test taker will answer a total of three questions (2 + 1) out of the five total questions (3 + 2) in the test, as reflected in the "Questions to ask" field, highlighted in Red.

In the next , we will see an illustration of how the randomization works for the test taker.
