Hi

I am using OPUS XE 4. I hope someone can help me with this.

Using the Question Page Wizard, I am building a test with multiple choice question.

I have done this before, but for the life of me cannot remember how to randomise the questions and the answers. We have found that if this is not done, students memorise the symbol. eg. Page 1 -A, Page 2 is C etc etc.

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

THanks

Hi Chingo,

If you're using th QPW, I would suggest trying this:

1. Create several of copies of the same page layout but move the correct answers between A - C

In the example below, the Answers (A) are always in the same order, but the Answer Variable (myAx) is rotated.

A1 = myA1 //correct answer
A2 = myA2
A3 = myA3

then

A1 = myA2
A2 = myA3
A3 = myA1 //correct answer

2. Generate two random numbers. One for your question and the other for the page.

3. Use the first to pick a random question / answer and load these in to the corresponding variables. Use the second with a gotopage X command.

Hope this makes sense.
