Selection strategies
Everything random
As the description states, this option selects random questions from the item bank regardless of whether they have a passage attached. Even if multiple questions share a passage, they are still randomized.
Passage position ordering is disabled for this strategy.
Random, no passages
This is similar to the everything random strategy, except the selector does not include questions linked to passages.
Passage position ordering is disabled for this strategy.
Complete passages first
This strategy will select as many questions linked to passages as it can, then it will fill out any remaining items with non-passage questions.

Only passages

Single passage
This strategy picks a specific passage and chooses the prescribed number of questions from that passage. If the passage does not have enough questions, it will never be selected. If none of the available passages have enough questions, the rule will return empty.
