At WeCP, fairness in assessments is everything. That’s why we built Smart Shuffling — a feature that ensures every candidate sees a balanced, randomized, and fair subset of questions, no matter how many you choose to show.
Let’s break it down. 👇
✅ What Is Smart Shuffling?
Smart Shuffling is WeCP’s intelligent question selection system. When you upload a large pool of questions to a section (say 100), but want to show only a subset (like 20), Smart Shuffling doesn’t just pick questions randomly. Instead, it picks them intelligently — ensuring:
Balanced Skills (concepts/topics being assessed)
Equal Difficulty Distribution (Easy, Medium, Hard)
Varied Question Types (MCQ, coding, video, etc.)
This ensures that:
No candidate gets all hard or all easy questions.
No one gets a section full of just one skill or type.
Everyone is fairly evaluated.
🎯 Why Can’t I See the Number I Want in the “Questions to Pick” Dropdown?
Sometimes, you might upload 99 questions and want to show 40. But in the dropdown, 40 isn’t available — maybe 30 or 36 is the highest you can pick.
Here’s why:
WeCP’s Smart Shuffling runs a check behind the scenes. It asks:
Do we have enough easy/medium/hard questions in the right mix?
Are all question types sufficiently represented?
Are skills fairly distributed?
If the answer is no — then allowing 40 would mean violating fairness.
So we hide that option. 🎭
🛠 What Can You Do?
To make your desired number (say 40) available in the dropdown, follow these steps:
Step 1: Check Distribution of Your Uploaded Questions
Make sure you have:
All 3 difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard)
A mix of question types (e.g., coding, MCQ, subjective)
A spread of skills (don’t overload with just one topic)
Step 2: Adjust Your Pool
Either:
Add more questions in the missing areas (e.g., more “medium” level MCQs for "Data Structures"), or
Reduce your “questions to pick” count to fit the current balance.
📦 Example
Let’s say:
You upload 99 questions.
You want to show 40 per candidate.
But the dropdown shows a max of 30.
Why?
Your uploaded pool may look like:
50 Easy, 40 Medium, 9 Hard — not enough hard questions.
70 MCQ, 29 coding — coding under-represented.
60 on “Arrays,” 10 on “Graphs,” 29 on “Strings” — skill imbalance.
Fix:
Add 10 more hard questions.
Add 10 more coding problems.
Include 10 questions on “Graphs.”
Now WeCP can fairly select 40 balanced questions — and your dropdown will show 40 again. ✅
🙋♀️ Why It Matters
We built Smart Shuffling to remove human bias and manual effort.
It guarantees:
Every candidate is evaluated on equal footing
Your test has credibility
You avoid false positives or negatives
💡 Pro Tips
Upload at least 5x the number of questions you want to show — it gives the system more room to balance.
Review your pool often. An imbalanced pool limits Smart Shuffling’s power.
Use tags (difficulty, skill, type) properly during question upload — Smart Shuffling relies on them.
