In WeCP, there are various ways to ensure that different test takers receive distinct sets of questions while maintaining fairness and consistency in difficulty levels. Here are three approaches to achieve this:
1. Use WeCP Smart Distribution to Pool Questions
One effective method is to pool a small number of questions from a larger set using WeCP’s Smart Distribution feature. This allows the platform to randomly pull questions for each candidate from a pre-defined question bank. Each candidate will receive a unique set of questions, but all questions will be of the same difficulty level and cover the same topics.
How to Set Up:
Upload a large pool of questions covering all required topics.
Enable the Smart Distribution option in the test settings.
Define the number of questions to be pulled from the larger pool for each candidate.
This method ensures variety in question sets while maintaining a consistent testing experience.
2. Shuffle Questions Using Randomization
Another approach is to enable Question Shuffling with Randomization. This method ensures that every candidate receives the same set of questions, but in a different order, or a randomized selection from specific sub-groups of questions. This prevents candidates from seeing the same sequence of questions but still guarantees that the overall difficulty and content are equivalent.
How to Set Up:
Create a question set that represents the test.
Enable the "Shuffle Questions" feature in the test settings.
Optionally, shuffle answer choices within each question to further randomize the test.
This ensures a fair assessment while reducing the likelihood of candidates sharing answers.
3. Create Multiple Sets of Questions for Different Groups
If you prefer a more structured approach, you can create multiple distinct question sets and divide the test takers into groups, assigning each group a different version of the test. This method is particularly useful when you want to ensure a high degree of variation between question sets.
How to Set Up:
Create several question sets with similar difficulty and content coverage.
Divide the test takers into groups and assign each group a specific test set.
Send customized invitations to each group with the link to their assigned question set.
This method works well for exams with large groups of candidates or where you want full control over the exact question sets. By using these methods, you can easily create a secure and fair testing environment while ensuring that no two candidates have the same set of questions.
