# Split Your Assessment by Pages or Sections

Organize your assessment by **displaying a specific number of questions per Page** or by placing each question in its own **Section**.

When setting up your assessment, consider how you want to structure the questionnaire—especially if you're designing a more comprehensive evaluation. For a short assessment, displaying 3 to 5 questions per **Page** is ideal, while longer assessments are best organized by dividing the questions into clearly defined **Sections**.

\*Splitting your assessment by Sections will only affect how it is organized visually, not how it is scored. If you’d like to create multiple types and provide your respondent with a separate score for each type, start by creating a [Multi-Type assessment](https://agolix.com/user-guide/select-your-assessment-scoring-model/#h-choosing-a-scoring-model) and then enter your types on the [“**Types**” tab](https://agolix.com/user-guide/create-types-for-multi-type-assessment/).

## Split your Assessment by Pages

Click the "**Questions**" tab—by default, the "Pages" option will be selected. Enter the number of questions you would like displayed on each page in the provided field.

Click the "**Randomize Questions**" if you choose to randomize all the questions in your assessment. Click "**Save**" to store your selections.

## Split your Assessment by Sections

Click on the "**Questions**" tab and select "**Sections**". Using **Sections** allows you to present your assessment questions grouped into designated Sections. As you create your assessment, you’ll need to assign each question to the appropriate section. Any questions that aren’t assigned to a Section will automatically appear at the end of the assessment.

\***For example:** create 2 Sections: Demographics and Section 1. Next, add say 3 questions for the Demographic Section and 3 questions for Section 1. Your assessment will present to your respondent with the 3 Demographic questions on the first page and once answered, the next page with display the 3 questions assigned to Section 1.
