One great feature in Lectora is the randomized test function. This gives you great flexibility when you create your tests and makes it easy to create a unique test experience for each learner.
Here are a few tips to consider when you create randomized tests in Lectora:

  • Use a consistent number of questions on each page. Lectora randomizes by page, not question, so consistency in numbers of questions per page is key.
  • Make sure the total question weights for each question on a page are equal.
  • If you want to have questions chosen at random from all sections in your test, select “Random Selection of Pages” in your test properties to make sure it pulls from all sections.
  • if you want to randomize your test by section level, change the setting in your test propertiesto “Randomize by Section Level.” This allows you to randomize questions from specific test sections.
