This feels like it's lacking another model. I did a system where there were
quizzes after a medical Continuing Education presentation, and there was the
following setup:
User (has_many examinations)
Examination (belongs_to user, belongs_to test) [also stores the
individual's answers to each question]
Test (has_many examinations)
I won't get into the questions and answers here, but this should give you a
possible direction. The idea is that a Test is a template -- the mimeograph
master if you go back that far. There are many examinations derived from that
test, and each examination is referencing a single user and a single test
(master). How that exam gets filled out is unique to the user, and I think
that's the missing model you are looking for.
