changing question in one quiz without changing it in others

changing question in one quiz without changing it in others

I would like to create a new quiz with questions similar to an existing quiz. One option is to retype all questions. But there are potentially two easier options, trying to reuse the existing questions, and I would like to know if any of them is feasible.

1) I could put the questions from the first quiz into a public category and then reuse them in the new quiz. My problem is: if I change them in the new quiz, it will change the old one. Am I right?

2) I could make a backup of the existing quiz and then import it into the other course. Again my question: if after the import I make changes to the questions in the new quiz, will it change the questions in the old one?

Is there some other way to go about this?

Hi Gustav,
your are right with 1) and 2)sad.

Happily there is a 3) wink

If your categories are not public, then when you restore the quiz you add a new set of identical questions in the new course, with differents id in database, independently editable as you need, to create 2 differents independants tests

I hope it will help,

Bernard

Thanks Bernard, that was just the kind of answer I was looking for. So if I understand correctly one can make a truly independent copy of a quiz by exporting it and importing to a different course, provided all questions are in a non-public category. approve
