I would like to set up a final exam of 15 questions. I would like to randomize 40 questions so the students will randomly get 15 of the 40 questions. When I add random questions to the quiz and preview it, an error appears.
what is the error?
There are not enough questions in category 14402064 to create the question Random question (5522091).
If you created 40 questions in the same category, then created the quiz (questions) with 15 separate random questions from the same category there should be no problem. Are the categories matching from the question bank to the quiz?
I don’t understand the category thing. I have 40 questions. The test will be 15 questions. I added 15 questions of the 40. Then added 25 random questions. I thought they were under the same category. Should I change how I set it up?
In the quiz bank, questions are created in a category. For a course, you may have created multiple categories, each with specific questions.
This is one of my question banks with four categories.
when I created the quiz, I can only select the number of questions that exists in a category.
You need to look at your question bank for the course and see if there are multiple categories. If there are multiple categories, you can only add the number of random questions that are available in that category.
I created 1 category with the 40 questions. Then I took 15 of those questions for the test. Then I added the other 25 questions as random. Is that the correct way?
You are using all 40 questions? 15 as specific questions on the quiz and another 25 randomized? Why not randomize all 40 questions?
I would love to, but how do I have it where only 15 questions populate?
I thought the 25 I added would mix with the 15 questions smh
I randomize 99% my questions. With rare exception, when one specific quiz question is required, I will create a new Quiz Item for those to keep that out of the randomization pool and my own housekeeping.
If no one has attempted the quiz and you want all 40 quiz questions randomize, just delete the 15 specific questions and change the randomized question number to 40.
If no one has attempted the quiz and you want all 40 quiz questions randomize, just delete the 15 specific questions and change the randomized question number to 40.
Thank you but how do I set it where they will only answer 15 questions.
if the quiz is only 15 questions, you select add, random, 15. Done.
You do not need to account for the balance of the 40 questions when you create the quiz.
The system will select 15 questions out of the 40 for each quiz attempt.
If it doesn't work after that, please consider a screen capture of your quiz category and quiz (question) build just like I included above.

Thank you I think I understand now. I create the random questions based off of all the questions in my category. When it asks how many random I put the number 15. I will try this and let you know the outcome, thank you.
Thank you very much. I corrected the categories and the exam is set. I appreciate all the feedback. I need to open the exam for 1 student early. Is that also possible to set up in Moodle?
Thank you very much

Thank you, this is how I have it set up but receive the error. I guess I need to look into the category thing.
