How do I randomize the order of the questions on my quiz?

You can use Question Groups to randomize the order of the questions on your quizzes.

Note: If you need your questions to appear in a specific order, you should add or find individual questions instead of creating a question group.

You should first create one or more question banks that contain the questions you want to appear on your quiz. For more information about creating question banks, refer to this lesson.
