Store your selected questions/answers in a session variable, once you've selected them.

<?php
$query="SELECT * FROM test  ORDER BY RAND() limit 5  ";
$result=mysql_query($query)or die("cannot select DB");
$num=mysql_numrows($result);
?>

<form name="myform" id="myform" action='test.php' method='POST' href="javascript: calculate_time()">

you can use session like this

<?php
session_start(); 
// make sure to start with this, or else 
// php won't reload the $_SESSION with the previous data

$myTest = 6;
$_SESSION["myTest"] = $myTest;

//Retrieving Data from the previous session
if(isset($_SESSION["myTest"])&&!empty($_SESSION["myTest"])){
    $myTest = $_SESSION["myTest"];
} else { // Storing Information for the next session
    $myTest = 6;
    $_SESSION["myTest"] = $myTest;
}

Let me know if that makes clear.
