Generating tests with opensource framework like Limesurvey

Question

I have a certain number of questions, from which I would like to generate a certain number of tests, but each test only has x of the total n questions (so not all the questions in one test). Basically I'm looking for a test preparation framework for multiple choice questions.

I discovered Limesurvey as an opensource framework which might be useful for this requirement. Could I do above tasks easily with Limesurvey (how?), or should I consider another solution (which one)?

Thanks

With LimeSurvey, you can use different method. The best i use is :

• Put all the question in the same Randomization group name : http://manual.limesurvey.org/QS:Random_group
• Add a short text question (code is DONE) at start and hide it : http://manual.limesurvey.org/QS:Hidden
• At each question, put the relevance equation to DONE!="done"
• AT the Xth question, put an Equation question with {DONE="done"}

Then :

• All question in the Randomization group name are shuffled
• The question after the Eqation question aren't showned.

You have X question inside Yours questions.

You have another system here : http://manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Survey_behaviour#Version_2.0_And_Newer
