Hi. I have a 20 question quiz I’ve built. I only want 10 questions to display so I put in 10 random slides. To test,  I’ve failed the quiz once but on the second attempt I’m presented with those SAME 10 questions. In the same order. I want the quiz to go in and pull additional questions from the 20 for variety. It’s ok for some of the questions to be presented again but i would like to not have all of the same questions presented as they were on the first attempt. Please help!

Rod gave you the correct answer. You cano nly have a new subset when relaunching the course. I explained this more in detail and offer more tips/trics in this blog post:

Thank you. But we are required to give two attempts if someone scores less than 80 on attempt one. So essentially I would have to assign the quiz twice to get the desired shuffle outcome and remove the retake button I currently have?  Is there not a coding workaround on the back end behind the scends that I could “force” the shuffle?

You have to exit the course, and when relaunching you'll have a new subset of random actions. The LMS will have to take care of the attempts.

This is just the way that Random Question slides work in Captivate.  If you want to see a different set from the Question Pool that these questions are attached to then you need to relaunch the module again.  The randomisation only takes place on launch.  After that the questions are set for that session.
