Moving from Test Section to Test Section

Good Afternoon -

I am trying to do some advanced things with Lectora Desktop v21 which may not be supported , but it is worth a try.

Exam Configuration

1x Test

5x Test Sections

10x questions under each Test Section (TS)

When I set each section to randomly chose 2 questions, it functions properly by randomly choosing 2Q from every section in a waterfall process - TS 1 to TS 2 to TS 3 to TS 4 to TS 5 (i've set randomly chose 2Q in each of the 5 sections).

Now, if I want to go from TS 1 to TS 4 - skipping TS 2 and TS 3 - it does not allow me to jump to TS 4, making me go into TS 2, followed by TS 3, and then to TS 4.

I am able to circumvent this required waterfall approach of TS1>TS2>TS3>TS4>TS5 by disabling the randomly choose 2Q in the preceding sections.

Is this by design or a glitch in the software?

Use Case:

I'd like to jump to a section based on user input BUT also be able to randomly choose a set of questions from a pool.

Attached is my test files if you'd like to play with it.

Discussion (2)

Why not just have five tests? You could create a combined score after the user completes the course, if that's required.

You make a good point.
