- Will the questions and the offered answers be in the same order as in the question set?
- They may or may not be. You can specify in the ROPOT description whether you want to mix the order of the questions. There are three options under the setting "The questions should be presented in the following order:"
- random – randomly shuffles all questions (if you use multiple question sets and have a set order, questions are randomly shuffled from all of them regardless of the question set order!)
- in the same order as that of the question sets they make up, but blended randomly within each of the sets
– used when using multiple sets – randomly shuffle questions from the set while maintaining the question set order (if specified). So first the questions from the first question set will be randomly shuffled in the test, then the questions from the second set will be randomly shuffled, etc.
- in the same order as they can be found in the set
–
if you don't use all questions in the question set, the first n questions in the set are selected in the order they are defined in the definition file. If you are using all questions from the question set, they are used in the exact order they appear in the definition file.
If you do not fill in the "position of the set" field, the question sets are used in random order.
You can also decide whether you wish to mix up the order of the options from which students choose the correct answers. Then you don't have to worry about putting the correct answer in the same place every time you create a question.
