After an exam has been generated, a percentage of the questions used in the exam are ‘hibernated’ or rested from use for a set number of future exam generations in the same module.
This guarantees that any retake exam that an examinee takes in the module will have a minimum percentage of new questions, over and above the new questions that are drawn from the question bank as a result of the random selection feature.
The exact Hibernation Percentage and Exam Generations (number of future exam generations to hibernate) are configured in the Control Panel. The Hibernation can be switched OFF by setting both Hibernation Percentage and Exam Generations values to zero in the Control Panel.
The requirement to hibernate a certain percentage of questions may or may not be a requirement of your National Aviation Authority.
