Exam class: Randomising the choices

Question

Any ideas how to overload the choices environment provided by exam class to obtain randomised choices with option to fix any one of the choices?

Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Nov 13 '18 at 13:45

I've written a exam add-on package called exam-randomizechoices which can be found here. Note that it is still in test phase. Documentation is provided (see link).

Just what I was looking for! Thanks! By the way, why \CorrectChoice is mandatory in randomizechoices? Can we easily remove this requirement? – a-student Nov 19 '18 at 18:11
You can omit \CorrectChoice but you will get a warning. And you cannot reference to the correct choice. – Jesse op den Brouw Nov 19 '18 at 18:28
I somehow always get this error, if I haven't used \Correctchoice. Package exam-randomizechoices Error: You need exactly one \CorrectChoice, I found 0 in question 1. \end{randomizechoices}. – a-student Nov 20 '18 at 16:33
I've done this so that exam writers are warned when they don't have \CorrectChoice in the choiceset. You can fix this by commenting line 277 of the exam-randomizechoices.stypackage. – Jesse op den Brouw Nov 21 '18 at 09:42
