Add 200question option? about open-mcr

Hey, it's totally understandable, I will look through the code to see if I can manage to turn it into a student id-less option. I don't care as much about the test ID or the user ID. But hey, your work is amazing, what you've done here probably helps thousands of students and teachers!

Hi, I get a lot of requests for different form sizes but unfortunately it is pretty challenging to add new ones. The problem is not so much in the code (the code is generic enough that it's easy), it's with the sheet design - there's just not much more space for 50 more questions since we still need room for some sort of student identifier.

I think a better solution than packing more questions into the page at this point would be to add more pages. There is no software support for multiple pages (if you want to work on that it would be greatly appreciated!) but in the meantime what you could do is utilize the Test Form Code or the Course ID fields on the existing 150 question sheet.

For example, to give a two page exam, allowing for 150 questions:

1. On the first page, students would put their ID number and a test form code of A.
2. On the second page, students would put the same ID number and a test form code of B.
3. When scoring, you'd have to perform some data manipulation to link the pages together. You could split the results into two files, one with form code A and the other with form code B, then combine the results by matching the student ID. This could be done with a script or with Excel.

Thank you! Good luck working on that feature. I will be offline next week but I'll be back on July 11 if you have any questions or requests. Hopefully we can come up with something that we can pull back into this codebase and release to everyone.

Hi @georgebrianb, if you are still working on this please let me know and I will reopen it!
