Is it possible to generate questions randomly in Moodle.

I have a set of 10 questions and everytime student takes the test, he must get different questions. Do we need an external plugin for this?

Hi Sai,

Which version of moodle has this feature. I am using 1.7 and it has only 'Random Short-Answer Matching'. How can I get this in my version.

Random questions can be of any question-type (T/F, MC, etc.). After you have created your questions and they are stored in a question bank (i.e. category), when you go to add questions to a quiz activity you will notice at the bottom of the screen a drop down box to add a specific number of random questions from the currently selected question bank. I believe Random questions have been around for a while (at least version 1.6 - possibly 1.5 but I don't recall). You should be fine with 1.7.
