Randomly chose a number of questions for a quiz from a pool of questions

I would like to create a pool of questions and Microsoft Forms should randomly chose a number of questions from this pool for a quiz.
So if I need a quick test for my students I could just tell Microsoft Forms to take 10 questions from a certain pool randomly.

    This would held individuals focus and not copy from their socially distanced neighbour 😁

    Yes, do this please and also make it so you can copy questions from one to another at the same time. All educators could do with this. Ask the MIE Experts, they know!

    This would be really needed if you want to use the quizzes for home-work assignment. I know their order can be randomised, but students are not stupid - they will pass the questions to each other.

    I would like this for a course pre-requisites test where I don't want delegates from the same company to get the same questions. I like the test to automatically give a random selection of 20 questions.

    This is an awesome suggestion and would encourage people to respond better to a regularly scheduled survey. It will allow us to shorten the survey. We could reduce the number of questions on the survey, and just rely on the random selection to eventually cycle through a larger pool.

    MS Team should add this types of features which would be very helpful for better tasks in the classroom

    This addition will hugely rise Forms and Teams functionalities for academic sector and will help to transform Teams application to the very strong LMS.

    I'd also like to be able to create a question bank, I have a pool of questions and want to use them to create muiltiple tests from the question bank.

    Hello Microsoft, thank you for all that you have already contributed to education in the world. I suspect how much it has cost you, and I don't know how much this that we are asking you will cost you, but know that we will be pleasantly grateful, which promises me to be at your disposal in what I can help.
