How to filter tests by difficulty level
-
Go to the Tests tab. Inside your assessment, select the Tests tab to access Testlify's full test library.

Open the filter panel. In the top-right area of the screen, click the Add button next to the Filters box.
-
Select Difficulty Level. From the available filter options, choose Difficulty Level.

Choose a level. Pick one of four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, or Expert. The library updates to show only tests at that level.

Why use the Difficulty Index?
The Difficulty Index helps you tailor assessments to the skill level the role actually requires. Whether you need beginner-friendly tests for entry-level candidates or expert-level challenges for senior hires, filtering by difficulty keeps your assessment fair and relevant.
Tip: Mix difficulty levels across different skill areas to create a balanced assessment that tests both foundational knowledge and advanced ability.
