I am trying to run 5 tests in one battery. The first is the Colour Word Stroop, the remaining 4 are all set up as surveys. I need to run the stroop first in all participants, and one specific survey last for all participants. However, I need the remaining 3 tests to run in random order. All participants complete all tests. I tried group assignment, but then realised that was for Inquisit V6. Unfortunately my access is only for V5, and from what I can see this can't be done in V5 - at least not in the batch file. Is there another roundabout way that I could achieve the same outcome? I have read a little about potentially turning the tests into experiments but I'm a little confused on if this is possible, and how to actually do so. Thank you so much for any guidance you can give!

Define three <batch> elements, all three will be executed in order: // runs first, administers stroop <batch a> / file = "stroop.iqx" </batch> // runs second, randomizes order of three surveys <batch b> / file = "survey1.iqx" / file = "survey2.iqx" / file = "survey3.iqx" / selectionmode = random </batch> // runs last, administers final survey <batch c> / file = "survey4.iqx" </batch>
