Hi,
I have 5 scripts which I have combined with the <batch> element. I would like to keep script1 always in the 1st position, but randomize the order of script2-5 when I administer the test to participants. I realise that I can create multiple batches with the different orders, and then use groupassignment = random to achieve this, but that would mean I have 4! = 24 combinations to write out! Is there a less cumbersome way to do this?
My batch script:
<batch>
/ file = "script1.iqx"
/ file = "script2.iqx"
/ file = "script3.iqx"
/ file = "script4.iqx"
/ file = "script5.iqx"
</batch>
Thank you for your help.

No, I'm afraid there isn't. Defining multiple <batch> elements and then assigning randomly to one would be the way to go.
