Creating Random Block
Navigate to the test you just created or want to add random block and Edit this test.
Select the drop down in Reuse Question and select Create Random Block.
Under Pool or Tests you will see your tests and be sure to select the test you want to create random block. Also select which all questions or select individual typs of questions. Select Submit.
Scroll to the bottom of the test and you will find an added question, for example number 3 is a Random Block. You can enter how many questions in the set you want to display.
Since number 3 is a random block of questions, you no longer need each individual question above. In this example, delete question 1 and 2. Select the box next to 1 and 2 and select Delete.
After deleting the individual questions, 1 and 2, you are now left with the random block of questions.
