Shuffling is a feature that allows you to randomize the order of test content—including sections, pages, questions, and even answer choices—to ensure that each participant receives a uniquely ordered test. This helps increase test security and reduce the risk of answer sharing among participants.
TestInvite provides multiple layers of shuffling in exams:
Where to find it: Test Settings → Questions tab → Shuffle Sections
When enabled, this setting randomizes the order of sections in a test. Each participant will encounter the sections in a different sequence.
This is ideal for tests with independent sections where order does not affect comprehension.
Where to find it: Section Settings → Shuffle Pages
This option randomizes the order of pages within a specific section. Activating this ensures each participant receives a different flow within that section.
Useful for modular sections where pages can be tackled in any order.
Where to find it: Page Settings → Shuffle Questions
Activating this feature randomizes the questions on a page. You can still fix the position of certain questions while allowing others to shuffle around them.
This allows for a balance between control and randomness—ideal for preserving contextual flow while preventing predictability.
Where to find it: Question panel on the right → Edit button → Shuffle choices
Most question types (including Multiple Choice Questions) support randomizing the order of answer choices, which helps prevent position bias.
This setting is configured directly within each question's settings.
You can fix the position of specific questions or exclude them from shuffling. This is particularly useful for:
