multiple choice quiz with 20 questions that Canvas could randomly select 15 questions to give a student?

[BernardNalesnik]

I like to have my students read a chapter and take a quiz on what they read. I like to keep them a standard 15 questions, but sometimes I find more than 15 that seem like good questions. Can I make a multiple choice quiz with 20 questions and then Canvas would randomly pick 15 so that kids would get different questions. I'm thinking no, but???

Hi @BernardNalesnik 

In Canvas classic quizzes, a "Question Group" will do exactly what you want.  See https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-quiz-with-a-question-group-to-...

@BernardNalesnik You can set up a quiz to randomly present each student with 15 questions from a set of 20 questions whether you use Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes. Here are links to the relevant guides.
