[ARCHIVED] Returning to Quiz and ensuring same random question

We are trying to set up our online examinations and I need to know some technical facts about Canvas Quizzes (new version)

At what point are student allocated the questions from the question bank equivalent?

Allow me to explain. 

The lecturers have created a quiz where the student will randomly receive 5 questions (e.g.ABCDE), but have up to 24hrs to complete.

The idea is the student start the quiz see the 5 random questions, then go away answer them on paper. Photograph calculation sheets / workings out and then return to the quiz to upload the images.

Therefor the students must see the same questions when they return. (ABCDE)

However since they are not interacting with the quiz to enter values etc until the second time is there a guarantee they see the same questions

My testing implies that if the student is completing a MCQ or a couple of other types and enter values the same questions appear. But if I don’t interact with the quiz I see different questions say FGHIJ questions

 We don't want students to get different questions.

We're worried that students might get different questions.

so does anyone know 

1. when are questions allocated?

2. does this remain the same if students don't interact?

 

thanks
