 * Hi,
 * Quiz Tool Lite was exactly what I needed because of two “killer” features:
    –
   Import CSV – Build Quizzes from several question pots
 * Although I have a very limited scope of usage (a simulation of a german government
   multiple choice test with one correct answer per question) I came across some“
   missing” features and a design issue. Because of language issues I have to use
   the forked version from ABTOP. It would be wonderful if this fork could be merged
   back into the main tree. Now for the proposals.
 * 1. Design Issue: Randomization Option
    The option to randomize questions and/
   or answers should be in the quiz, not in the questions. I not only would like
   to offer a test simulation which is as close to the original as possible (ie 
   questions **and** answers ordered), but also some training possibilities. One
   of which is randomized questions **and/or** answers. Currently this means that
   for every “ordered” pot I need second, more or less identical, “randomized” pot.
 * 2. Immediate Response
    This was already [requested](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/highlighting-correct-answer-in-multiple-choice-questions/)
   [twice](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/check-answer-option-for-quizzes/).
   It means that immediately after the user makes his choice for a question, the
   result “Correct” or “Incorrect” is displayed along with the correct answer in
   the latter case, for eg. by highlighting said answer. If the quiz is graded or
   not should be an option for the quiz designer. Sounds like a flashcard system?
   Well if you throw in pagination with the option of one question per page, it 
   kinda is 🙂 Your tool has a vast potential for training purposes.
 * 3. Pagination
    This, too, [has already been proposed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pagination-for-quiz/)
   and I second this proposal despite that it is mostly cosmetic. Again, this is
   related to the training aspect. Although the original test has only 33 questions(
   10 general and 3 state specific) they come from a pool of 300 general questions
   and 10 state specific questions. I would like to give users the opportunity to
   try all questions, without having to scroll down a mile long page.
 * 4. Point based grading
    Ok, this one is a bit selfish and may be I got some things
   wrong. It should be possible to grade a) by the number of correctly answered 
   questions b) by the number of points achieved where each question can be assigned
   an individual value or one based on the pot (easy pot = 1pt, difficult pot = 
   3pt)
 * Please don’t understand this as any form of critique, but just as some ideas 
   for the future evolution of Quiz Tool Lite.

 * Hi – and many thanks for the detailed feedback. It’s thanks to feedback like 
   this we can make improvements.
    There has been a quiz tool lite v3 in development
   for some time, but its been stalled due to a variety of issues. The good news
   is that I’m now actively working on this but because it’s a rewrite pretty much
   from the ground up it will still be early Spring 2018 before a release would 
   be viable. To make the product sustainable I may also be adding new features 
   as an ‘add-on’ which brings new capabilities, the details of which I’m not 100%
   sure on yet. But don’t worry – version 3 will certainly not remove any existing
   functionality.
 * A lot of what you raise will be added to that significant upgrade. But in the
   meantime I’ll deal with your queries one at a time.
 * 1. Design Issue: Randomization Option
    This makes sense, and I will add the option
   to randomise all responses at a quiz level as well, not just a question level.
 * 2. Immediate Response
    If I understand correctly you want a series of questions(
   quiz) but with grading to happen as participants go along (for each question),
   rather than an overall ‘submit quiz’ button. Yes, I will add this to the feature
   list, but may be an add on as it’s a rather custom feature. At least I’ve not
   come across this need in any institutions I’ve worked in.
 * 3. Pagination
    Yes this is definitely coming version 3. Ajax based loading pagination.
 * 4. Point based grading
    This is also on the feature list yet – I hadn’t considered
   applying a default grade to everything within a pot, I was only going to do it
   for each question. But that’s another option.
 * Thanks again – really appreciate the comments.

 * Hi – I’m working on the new version at the moment and have some queries about
   how you see the flashcard system working.
 * I assume it’s a one question per page, the student can view their response and
   correct / incorrect feedback immediately after submitting for each question, 
   then progress to the next one.
    Does that makes sense? It could work if they 
   can only progress i.e. can’t go back on the quiz. Would you want to give them
   the option to ‘reset’ the question if wrong and try again?

 * Well easiest thing would be to setup a new test site and just export then import
   the questions… that’s all I mean.
