CTAN update: mcexam
The mcexam package contained some bugs when answer lists were permuted. This was caused by a version update of LaTeX some years ago. The bugs have now been resolved.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/mcexam The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mcexam/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

mcexam – Create randomized Multiple Choice questions
This LaTeX package automatically randomly permutes the order of questions as well as the answer options in different versions of a multiple choice exam/test.
Next to the exam versions themselves, the package also allows printing a concept version of the exam, a key table with the correct answers or points, and a document with solutions and explanations per exam version.
The package also allows writing an R code which processes the results of the exam and calculates the grades.
The following other LaTeX packages are required: enumitem, environ, etoolbox, longtable, newfile, pgffor (from the PGF/TikZ bundle), xkeyval, and xstring.
