Pool Quiz (Randomised Draw)

A Pool Quiz draws a random subset of questions from a Question Bank category each time a learner starts. Every session presents different questions in a different order, preventing rote memorisation of a fixed question set.

Setting Up a Pool Quiz

  1. Populate a Question Bank category with MCQ questions (minimum: more questions than the draw size)
  2. Open the quiz and navigate to Quiz Settings → Pool Config
  3. Select the source Question Bank category
  4. Set the draw size (how many questions to present per session)
  5. Enable Randomise question order and Randomise answer order (recommended)
  6. Save

When a learner opens a quiz with a pool configuration, they are directed to the pool quiz runner automatically.

How It Works for Learners

  • A fresh question set is drawn at the start of each new session
  • Immediate per-question feedback is shown after each answer
  • The correct answer is revealed on incorrect responses, along with any explanation you provided when authoring the question
  • Score accumulates live throughout the session

Attempt Controls

Pool quizzes respect the same attempt limits and cooldown settings as standard quizzes – configured in the main quiz settings panel.
