Random Quiz
Random Quiz is a LearnPress add-on plugin by ThimPress that randomizes quiz questions. It pulls questions from a larger pool so each student, and each retake, gets a different set. That makes quizzes harder to memorize or share and gives a better read on what learners actually know.

What it does
Static quizzes have a weakness: once students see the questions, they can pass them around or memorize answers on a retake. This add-on works inside the LearnPress LMS plugin and changes how questions are served. Instead of showing the same fixed list, it shuffles and selects questions from a larger pool, so one student's attempt rarely matches another's. Retakes also draw a fresh set, which keeps repeat attempts meaningful.
Instructors build their pool using the LearnPress question bank, with formats such as multiple choice, true or false and fill in the blanks. From there you set how many questions appear per attempt, add time limits, and choose whether hints and answer explanations show. It suits online academies, corporate training portals and educational sites that already run LearnPress and want fairer, more varied assessments. LearnPress is required.
Best for
- Online academies built on LearnPress
- Corporate training portals that run graded assessments
- Educators who want retakes to use new questions
Features
Randomized question selection
Shuffles and picks questions from a larger pool so each student receives a different quiz, which reduces the chance of copied or shared answers.
New set on every retake
Each retake draws a fresh randomized set of questions, so students face a real check of their knowledge instead of repeating a familiar list.
Questions per attempt
Instructors define how many questions appear in each quiz attempt, with the option to load all questions from the pool when that suits the course.
Multiple question types
Works with several question formats, including multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blanks, so quizzes can test different kinds of understanding.
Time limits
Set a time limit on quizzes to control how long students have to complete each randomized attempt.
Hints and explanations control
Turn hints and answer explanations on or off for a quiz, depending on whether it is meant for practice or formal assessment.
LearnPress question bank support
Uses the LearnPress question bank to organize and manage large numbers of questions, which keeps building and maintaining quiz pools manageable.

Questions about Random Quiz
Does this work without LearnPress?
No. It is an add-on for the LearnPress LMS plugin and relies on LearnPress quizzes and its question bank, so LearnPress needs to be running on your WordPress site.
Will students get new questions when they retake a quiz?
Yes. Every retake pulls a new randomized set of questions from the pool. This keeps repeat attempts from becoming a memory exercise and gives a clearer picture of what the student has learned.
Can I control how many questions each student sees?
Yes. You choose the number of questions per attempt, and the plugin selects that many from the larger pool. You can also set it to load all questions, along with setting time limits and toggling hints and explanations.
Which question types can go into a randomized quiz?
The add-on supports several formats, including multiple choice, true or false, and fill in the blanks. You can mix these in your question pool to assess different skills within the same quiz.
Is Random Quiz free?
