What are question groups?

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

Written by Emily Mitchell

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

  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.

​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.
