This type of assessment profile builds an exam from a specific number of questions from each objective in the lesson. These questions will be selected randomly from the pool of available questions (as usual), but each objective will act as its own question pool. For more information about assessment profiles, see the VISION Learning Station help topic, "Assessment Profiles".
Note that though this assessment profile is set up in VISION Developer, it can only be applied to VISION Learning Station exams.
