This is from the net by Erlandsen Data Consulting. You can generate fifty
unique numbers in random order by runing the small macro at the bottom. It
lists the numbers in column A cells 3 thru 52, but you can modify the display
range to suit your purposes. This can be adapted to then call the list of
questions in the same order.

Function UniqueRandomNumbers(NumCount As Long, LLimit As Long, _
ULimit As Long) As Variant
' creates an array with NumCount unique long random numbers in the range
LLimit - ULimit (including)
Dim RandColl As Collection, i As Long, varTemp() As Long
UniqueRandomNumbers = False
If NumCount < 1 Then Exit Function
If LLimit ULimit Then Exit Function
If NumCount (ULimit - LLimit + 1) Then Exit Function
Set RandColl = New Collection
Randomize
Do
On Error Resume Next
i = CLng(Rnd * (ULimit - LLimit) + LLimit)
RandColl.Add i, CStr(i)
On Error GoTo 0
Loop Until RandColl.Count = NumCount
ReDim varTemp(1 To NumCount)
For i = 1 To NumCount
varTemp(i) = RandColl(i)
Next i
Set RandColl = Nothing
UniqueRandomNumbers = varTemp
Erase varTemp
End Function


' example use:

Sub TestUniqueRandomNumbers()
Dim varrRandomNumberList As Variant
varrRandomNumberList = UniqueRandomNumbers(50, 1, 50)
Range(Cells(3, 1), Cells(50 + 2, 1)).Value = _
Application.Transpose(varrRandomNumberList)
End Sub

Joel wrote two codes that are really good which I posted below. I am still
trying to understand how to adjust the take test code below so that it will
randomly ask all 50 questions 12, 16, or 24 times or just 12 times if that's
easier to do while keeping a record of each answer that is given. In other
words I am trying to ask all 50 questions randomly at least 12 times each.
Currently the code is randomly selecting 12, 16, or 24 and asking 12, 16, or
24 of the 50 questions one time. Any thoughts?
