- Adaptive: Lets you test participants to watch at what level they are. Read more about adaptive tests.
When multiple drills have been added to the test, the following can be done the total number of questions is very many. You can set the length of the test by setting the maximum number of questions that can be asked in the test. Please note that there may be demand variations within a drill. The test never extracts multiple questions from 1 variant.
For example
A drill has 30 questions. These are divided into 10 variants. In the test, you can only ask 10 questions couples. When compiling a test treats Drillster question variants as individual questions.
If you want to send it per question, choose: "per question". This allows you to select, per question, which tags should definitely appear in this question. What also applies here is that if there is 1 question in the drill within a question variant with an extra tag, for example ‘exam’, then you can put exactly that question in the test by selecting that tag from the options menu.
As you can see in the image below, the first question only searches for a question with the ‘adaptivelearning’ tag. Other tags are not looked for.
