We have a pool of questions, something like 200 questions and want to make a 40 questions test. Is it possible for the test to take 40 questions from the pool?

Also, can the questions in the pool have categories?

200 questions pool divided in 4 categories with 50 questions each.

Make a test where 4 categories are used but specify to only use 10 of the 40 questions from each category and make this random?

Is this or something like this possible?

There are no categories within the questions here, but there is an option for question limits and randomizing.

Something isn't right. I've added a parent category and two quiz categories and created two quizzes.

When I go to the Quiz index the navigation displays "N/A" but the quiz stats are available.

I can navigate to the quiz pages by manually entering the url in my browser

I can't move the quizzes either as the categories don't appear in the dropdown options

I've tried rebuilding the category cache in admin tools. Now when I try adding another quiz I get a No Permission Error

I'm not sure about adding categories for questions, but I'll take a look at the rest soon.

Fixed in last update

Probably being a little hopeful here but I don't suppose there is any way to post results in the discussion thread for quizzes taken before the latest update?

With the latest update, the negative score for all my questions has been reset. Previously, wrong questions were subtracted using the following formula, which is what I requested when the addon was being developed: (1 / number of answers -1). I would need to correct this for all questions so that users can compete under the same scoring conditions, since the previous ones were subtracted 0.33 for wrong answers and those who take the quiz now are subtracted 1 point.

The best scores widget shows multiple scores from the same user when only the best score should be shown.

The Average score does not show scores with decimals, only with whole numbers

The quiz filter by completion date in quiz list doesn't work.

Could the display of the fastest users doing quiz be disabled when the test itself allows the user to select the questions? It doesn't make much sense to compare times between users when one may have taken a quiz of 20 questions and another user a quiz of 50.

No, there is no retrospective posting of results

It still follows the global option:

Added a explanation below the negative score score field in upcoming patch

I will add an option to show only results with answers to all available questions in the quiz in this block

I guess the caches didn't rebuild if these are quizzes completed earlier before the update

This also happens when you complete a quiz attempt, update the quiz list, and then delete the attempt. In that case, the quiz list is not updated again.

Just purchased this addon today. Will play around with it and offer ideas for something that works for our custom set up.
 
@Painbaker I have noticed that when importing questions in txt, the import is done in reverse order to the order of the questions in the document. The last question that appears in the txt is the first one that is imported and this order is followed. This means that if I import an exam and I want the number of questions in the quiz to be fixed and to be shown in order and not randomly, it is not respected because the import was done incorrectly.
How could this be corrected? I have 2 quizzes already created with this error.


If I hide the button below the thumbnail using CSS, there's a space that can't be removed. Why is this? I don't see any margin or padding attributes in the CSS.

I guess this is because you have the forced approval queue enabled for imported questions.
Questions in the approval queue get one display position number, then are set on approval according to the creation date. But the imported questions are all created in the same second.

Try running this rebuild tool and check if the order is now correct:

Works, thx!
 
Is there a way to adjust the time for how long they have to answer a question? I know they’re going to be cheating with ai, google etc. Also can guests take the quiz and to view their results they have to register? Thanks

I can add this.
I'll take a deeper look and let you know.

Yes, in recent updates has been added permission to view quiz results
 
@Painbaker I have a suggestion for the addon to be compatible with two other addons of yours::


Fake Activity:
It would be great if triggers could be created by configuring, for example:
  • Range of quizzes completed per day by the user (for example, so that users in the "Fake" group take 1 test per day)
  • Range of grades that completed tests should randomly have (for example, so that completed fake quizzes have a grade between 5 and 7 points out of 10).


Forum View Count:
The total number of visits could be shown in the quiz statistics to know which ones are the most visited by users.
 
Hey Painbaker how do I see the correct answers for the questions I got wrong? I fill out the info when I’m creating quizzes. Thanks

It will be difficult to simulate full activity including question answer logs
I'll PM you when I get a closer look at it.

Here are many options as you can watch the correct answers to the questions.
As a quiz taker, see these permissions:

As a form author or admin, you can see the correct answers on the question page under the Questions tab

Don't worry, it was just a suggestion that occurred to me in case it was easy to implement, but it's not a must-have for my website right now.
 
Is it possible to have multiple correct answers for a question yet?
For example, pick 2 correct answers out of a choice of 5?
My current quiz addon have this option and I want to see if it's possible before moving to this.
