How to Create Region-Based Random Quizzes in LearnDash

The Challenge

The client needed quizzes that could:

• Randomly pull questions from a larger bank

• Filter based on a student’s region (e.g., Colorado vs. California)

• Allow access via codes or QR

• Support both English and Spanish

• Import questions via CSV

• Schedule tests by date

What We Did

📍 Region-Specific Pools

‍
We grouped questions by state and topic using the LearnDash Multi Question Categories plugin, allowing quizzes to dynamically pull the right mix.

🔀 Randomized Quiz Logic

‍
Used learndash_get_quiz_questions() to fetch different questions for each student, even within the same region.

📅 Scheduling + Gated Access

‍
LearnDash’s drip-feed features made it easy to control when each test appears.

📲 Code-Based Access

‍
We proposed a small add-on to generate unique test links + QR codes to simplify access per student.

🌐 Language Support

‍
Set up multilingual quizzes with WPML and LearnDash’s translation tools.

📥 Bulk Question Upload

‍
Enabled quiz bank uploads via spreadsheet with the Quiz Import Export plugin—saving tons of admin time.

The Result

✅ Random quizzes tailored by location
✅ English + Spanish support
✅ Admins can upload 100s of questions in seconds
✅ Students access tests through personalized codes or QR links
