In order to for your questions to be randomized, you must import them from the Question Library into a random section folder in the quiz.
If there are already copies of your questions in the Question Library, you can delete them from your quiz and then import them from the Question Library to a random section folder in your quiz.
If there are no copies of your questions in the Question Library, you can import your questions into the Question Library from your quiz. Once your questions are in the Question Library, you can delete them from your quiz and then go to your quiz and import them to a random section folder.
For instructions on importing questions to a random section folder, see the Online Help section Randomizing Question / Selection Order.
No, ICON insists on assigning a point value to all quiz questions. Only surveys can have questions with no point values.

You can set up a special availability period for selected individuals to make up a quiz.

Yes. Here’s how:
Yes, but if you do, your change will apply to only those students who have not yet taken the quiz. To give proper credit to those students who have already taken the quiz, you can manually add points for the actual correct answer and take away points for the answer that was mistakenly designated as correct. You’ll find step-by-step instructions in the Online Help section Changing the “Correct” Answer after a Quiz is Released.
The Right Answer grading option for the Multi-Select quiz question type is problematic. Students not only receive credit for selecting right answers, but they also receive credit for not selecting wrong answers. If your Multi-Select question has two correct answers and two wrong ones, the student who chooses one correct answer and nothing else receives credit for selecting the correct answer plus credit for not selecting the two wrong answers, therefore earning 3/4 of the points allotted to that question. Unfortunately, the only time students won't get credit for not selecting wrong answers is if they don't select anything at all!
