16. Add Questions from Pool to Test

Overview

A pool is a bank of questions test that can be reused repeatedly in multiple assessments. Pools can be exported from one course and imported into another for reuse. Pools themselves are never deployed or made visible to students. When you create a test or survey, you can search in pools for questions to add.

A random block allows you to allocate some of the questions from a pool to a test (i.e. 50 of a possible 150). Students are randomly allocated a selection of the pool questions each time they attempt the test so, it is likely each student will receive a different set of questions (depending on the size of the pool). You can also add specific questions to a test from a pool or another test (refer Create a pool guide). For more information, refer to the Reuse Questions and Random Blocks guide.

Note: If you add both specific questions, as well as a random block to your test from the same pool, there is the possibility that some questions may appear more than once.
