Hi all,
I have been searching the docs and forum for a clear answer to this question: If I
- set up a question bank with 60 questions
- and I set up the quiz to pull 20 Q's out of the bank
- and allow the user 2 attempts
Can I be sure that the second attempt shows 20 different questions?
I found different answers.
- Forumpost: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=190597 Says you have to create a different category for each attempt

Adding a random question
As long as you have questions in the question bank, you can add random questions to your quiz. This might be useful if you have students in a class taking a quiz at the same time, because they are unlikely to get the same questions at the same time. The same question will never appear twice in a quiz. If you include several random questions then different questions will always be chosen for each of them. If you mix random questions with non-random questions then the random questions will be chosen so that they do not duplicate one of the non-random questions. This does imply that you need to provide enough questions in the category from which the random questions are chosen, otherwise the student will be shown a friendly error message. The more questions you provide the more likely it will be that students get different questions on each attempt.

Attempts allowed
- Students may be allowed to have multiple attempts at a quiz. This can help make the process of taking the quiz more of an educational activity rather than simply an assessment. If the quiz is randomized then the student will get a new version for each attempt. This is useful for practice purposes.
