"Would it be possible to refreshing revision to show the same option more than once? for example, selecting 'differentiation 4' three times and so having three different questions in three different tiles on display?
Obviously I can the refresh option three times, but for the kids that can complete the first step faster than others having a second one in the same category to move onto would be great.

[Transum: Thank you very much for your comment. Feedback is always appreciated. Unfortunately that facility was not built into the code. I will have a think about it and consider putting it into the pro version of Refreshing Revision. In the meantime I guess you could use the snipping tool to snip the panels into a Word document and then refresh the page to get a new question. Snip that into the document and then you'll have control over the order of the questions and how many you have.]"
