Instructions on how to pick 8 random questions from a bucket of 50 questions:

create two groups: one with 8 question and one with 42
hide the second group (relevance equation = 0)
then make sure all 50 questions are part of _the same_ randomization group
the questions will get random order _between_ the two groups
and since the second group is hidden, it will be like picking 8 question out of a bucket of 50

Nice, thanks Olle.

Is this workaround based on a stable behavior or is it based on a bug? Is that indented behavior?
Would save many lines of EM code from the current way to do it, right?

It's based on stable behaviour.

Carsten's idea, I'm just writing it down so it won't be forgotten.

Thanks for the tip! Exactly what I was looking for.

The only problem is that I want to generate a printable forms and "relevance equation = 0" is being ignored for it.

Is is possible to make this work for printing forms by modifying template files?

Hi Olle2,

I've tried to follow these instructions but for me doesn't work well. I will explain.

I created 2 groups just a test.

1. Group as:
Title: GRAMMAR (43)
Description: You will have 3 questions to answer.
Relevance: 1
Randomization group: GRAMMAR
This group I created 3 questions.

2. Group as:
Title: GRAMMAR (50)
Description: You will have 3 questions to answer.
Relevance: O
Randomization group: GRAMMAR
This group I created 4 questions.

So, when I make a test, always appears the same 3 questions regarding the Group 1 and never regarding from the Group 2. I already tried to fill up the information using different user but doesn't work. Please, can you help me?

Hi,

Feel free to attach your survey so other people can inspect it.

OBS: The questions will also have to be part of a randomization group, not just the groups.

As Olle says: The questions need to have the same "randomization group name", not the question groups. What you currently seem to do is just randomize the order of the two question groups, not the questions within these groups.

I have the same problem, actually. Tried every combination, but the only thing that happens is that the question of the relevance=1 group show up randomly (or not). Not the other questions. Could someone upload an example how this works? That would be very cool! Thank you in advance.
