Overview

Building quizzes with randomize sections of questions obviously provide an excellent way to prevent cheating from occurring during your exams. However, when you begin using larger sets of questions organized in your Quiz Libraries randomizing from a section of questions allows you to organize and pull questions by type (e.g. topic, chapter, multiple choice). It also gives you the ability to conduct deeper analysis of student learning when you organize and draw questions by the level of difficulty or type of learning objective desired.
