Can a certain number of questions be drawn from more than one question pool in a single exam?

Hi there!
Can a certain number of questions be drawn from more than one question pool in a single exam? For example, it is a 25 question exam. There are 5 question pools with 10 questions each. Is it possible to create a pool by randomly drawing 5 questions from each question pool?
Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Hi,

Yes, you need to use the library module

https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/exercises_tools/randomized_content_blocks.html

hello @sevdesivri ,

With the tools available you can draw 5 questions from each pool using one randomized content block xblock for each pool, and place the componentes next to one another, so that the lerner gest get the 25 questions in a single unit.
The only issue is that they will not be mixed, but all 5 from the first pool, then 5 from the second pool, etc.
If you really need to mix them, You could probably have an added javascript function in your unit that rearranges the questions randomly when the page is loaded.
