🔀 Randomising Quiz Question Options

Randomizing quiz question options enhances the integrity of your quizzes.

Randomizing options ensures that the answer choices are presented in different orders for different quiz-takers, preventing potential cheating.

It can be enable for Dropdown, Radio, and Checkbox quiz questions in FormNX.

Steps to Randomizing Quiz Question Options​

For each question where you want to randomize the options, turn on the "Shuffle Options" toggle switch in the element config.

This ensures that the answer choices are presented in a different order for each quiz-taker.

Randomising options vs. randomising questions​

Shuffle Options changes the order of the answer choices inside a question — everyone still gets the same questions.

If you want each respondent to get a different set of questions altogether, use Show a Random Subset of Questions instead (a Pro feature): build a large question bank in one form and let FormNX pick a limited number of questions at random for each respondent.

You can use both together — different questions and differently ordered options.

FAQs​

Does randomizing options impact the correct answer?​

No

Can I randomize which questions each respondent gets, not just the options?​

Yes. Turn on Show a random subset of questions in Settings → Quiz Mode and enter how many questions each respondent should answer. See Show a Random Subset of Questions.

Will enabling shuffle impact the visual layout of my form?​

Enabling shuffle only affects the order in which options are presented to quiz-takers. It does not impact the overall visual layout or design of your form.
