What are question groups?

Learn how to create customized assignments with questions that respond to the same stimulus.

Written by Sarah Ruiz-Baranov

Question groups align with one common stimulus, such as pictures, passages, or audio. These question types are common in social studies, ELA, and science.

You can tell a question is part of a group by the “X out of Y” label next to the question title:

You can save each question to a folder, assign it, or practice it as a standalone question.

How to Assign Question Groups from the Assignment Builder

  1. Click the Home tab, click Create New, then select Assignment.

  2. Select Add Questions +.

  3. Find questions using the Standards or Subjects & Topics search, then click Apply.

  4. Click Add to include the question groups you want in the assignment.

  5. Select Done Adding and then move into Recipient Settings to add a title, recipients, and a due date.

  6. Click Assign.


Note: Using the Quick add questions feature and randomizing questions will not keep your question groups together or include all questions within your assignment.

How to Assign Question Groups from a Library Subject

  1. From the Library, select a subject.

  2. Within the subject, select the questions you want, or the entire question group.

  3. Click Assign, then click Assign your selection.

  4. Complete the Recipient Settings by adding a title, recipients, and a due date.

  5. Click Assign.

Note: When you select questions and assign or add them to a folder, they will stay in a question grouping as long as the question order is not randomized. Smart assign does not ensure questions remain in order.
