I want to practice exercises from a textbook. I consider all of the exercises from the a given section to be equivalent, so if I get one exercise right that should be just like getting another exercise right, assuming both come from the same section. I don’t want my #reviews to be proportional to number of exercises in the section. Instead I want that each time the card for this section comes up I get a random exercise from that section. Is there a way to do this in Anki? ---

If a create a single note with all the excercises, then yes. Then you’ll just add a script that randomly chooses which question to show.
