How to create randomized test questions

support
1

I have a website for job interview candidates where I currently have a list of static questions for each job description. But many of the questions can be used on multiple job descriptions. What I would like to do is have a ‘bank’ of questions (each in their own separate .md file) that have tags assigned. And then the front end page would choose 6 random questions from the bank with a tag of ‘azure’ for example.

To that end, I also want to host the answer key in the site, but would like some way to secure or abstract it from the candidate.

Thanks.

If you want your visitors to see 6 random questions every time they visit the page, you’ll need some JS.

If you want the page to contain 6 random questions every time you build the site, that’s something you can do with Hugo.

This is a bit vague, but again smells like a JS thing.

This doesn’t seem like the sort of thing a static site is ideally suited to, what are you going to do with the user choices?

Yeah, both good points. I will continue to think on this.
