# Question Pools

Pool related questions so an assessment draws a random subset for each student.

A question pool is a named group of related questions with a **select count** — the number of questions the assessment draws from the pool. Each student receives a different random selection, so no two students see exactly the same set.

For example, a pool of 20 equivalent questions with a select count of 5 means every student gets 5 of the 20, chosen at random.

## Why use a pool

* **Academic integrity** — students get different questions, so sharing or copying answers is far less useful. This complements [dynamic questions](/v1/examind-platform/build/question-builder/dynamic-questions.md), which vary each question; pools vary *which* questions a student sees.
* **Reusable question banks** — maintain a large set of equivalent questions and sample from it across attempts, sections, or terms.

## Setting up a question pool

The self-serve interface for building pools is limited, so **EXAMIND's Customer Success team sets up question pools for you.** Tell us which questions to pool and how many to draw, and we'll configure it for your assessment.
