This is precisely what you can do.  Under Branch check Randomly to Unused Path
to avoid repeats of questions.  Under repeat, check Until True and create a
variable such as NumQuestions=50.  Then attach the calculation
NumQuestions:=NumQuestions+1 to the Next Question Button you are using.  This
button shouldn't be a navigation icon, just a map that Exits Interaction,
thereby going out to the Decision Icon to which the flowline is attached.  I've
just been building this very same thing.  I'm having a problem with the
previous question button.  I'm not sure how to instruct the button to go to the
last displayed question, rather than the previous question along the flowline.
Have you any idea?

Cheers,

Robert
