Hi, Im working on a team that uses LS for surveys and assessments in elementary and middle school students. We have carried out medium-sized applications, from 100 to 6000 participants (distributed in a period of time x).

Now we must prepare an application for 7,000 participants in a single day
we have a question that we have not been able to respond concretely. We consider two possible scenarios for implementing our solution:

A survey with thousands of participants incorporated into it.
Many surveys with few participants associated with each of them (surveys by application room).

Which of them is most recommended for this application in relation to the architecture of LS? What kind of scenario will work best?

Any advice or suggestion are welcome, thank you.

The questions :
1. Why use same survey ?
2. Why use different surveys ?

Some answer :
1. Because a lot of question is same
1. Because we need statistics for whole answers
1. Because it work
2. Because each survey are managed by different services
2. Because the survey is really big and our server is really small (then 1 don't really work)

You speak for survey by application room, the question is more : how do you want to manage this survey ? One person for all or different person for each rooms.

Hi, thanks for your answers. To respond to your queries.
1.- We will handle different examiners for each room.
2.- We have enough space on the server.
3.- We need to get statistics of the answers.

In fact we need to know which of these options is best integrated with the LS architecture, avoiding the presence of faults, duplication in responses, etc.
