CTAN Update: mcexam
The mcexam package, a LaTeX package for creating randomized Multiple Choice questions, has been updated. A major bug was removed. The previous version required the pgffor package but didn't load it. Now it does load the pgffor package.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/mcexam The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.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.
