Dear Dan

To allow me to create quizzes quickly for Moodle, I use this: "Quiz authoring template for Microsoft Word" which is found at:
http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=578&filter=1

It allows me to use Ms Word 2003 upwards (Ms Word 2003/2007/2010) to create quizzes. The quiz questions are then exported to XML through the same Ms Word file, and once you are in Moodle, you can import the XML file into your quiz. To use Moodle's quiz module to create the 100 questions is too much tedious work, in my humble opinion.

I've created 60 question quizzes before, so 100 questions shouldn't be that tough. Randomised questions, with time limit, Moodle allows you to customise your quiz no problems. For a newbie, you'll probably want to grab hold of some books or material to learn up how to do this. All the best.

P.S., maybe you can write a book entitled, "Moodle for Garderners and Landscapers". We don't have that one.

I've created tests in Moodle with 100+ questions in the pool (and 100 questions displayed to students).  My recommendations

1. create them using GIFT or Aiken format which makes questions development much faster/easier.
2. use the quiz page breaks to manage how many questions students see on a page (displaying "unlimited" might cause the quiz to load slowly
3. using images, formulas or rich text in quiz questions will take much longer (simple T/F or MC question types work best)

Good luck!

A prof wants to set up a test on moodle with 100 questions

A 100-question test? This is pure madness.
