Create Custom Questions Using the Testlify Test Library

Before you begin

Confirm you have Employer access in your Testlify workspace and know which skills you want to assess (e.g., JavaScript, Excel proficiency, PowerPoint).

Step 1: Create a Company Test

1. Log in to your Testlify dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Company Test section.
3. Click Create Company Test.

4. Fill in the test name, type, and description.
5. Enter the number of questions for the test.
6. Add the skills to be assessed (e.g., JavaScript, Excel proficiency).
7. Click Next to continue.

Step 2: Add Custom Questions

You can add questions two ways: create them from scratch or pull them from the Testlify Test Library.

Create from scratch — build questions tailored to your role. Supported formats include:

• Excel Questions — test candidates on spreadsheet tasks.
• Document Questions — require candidates to work in Word documents.
• Google Slides Questions — assess presentation skills in Google Slides.
• Presentation (PPT) Questions — evaluate PowerPoint proficiency.

See the full list: Custom question types on Testlify.

Use the Test Library — browse and add pre-built questions by skill or topic:

1. In the test creation interface, click Add Questions and select Test Library.
2. Browse or search by skill or topic to find relevant questions.
3. Select the questions that match your requirements and click Select.
4. Edit any added question to adjust wording, answer options, or scoring parameters as needed.

Tip: Library questions are pre-validated for quality. Only modify the wording when your role requires specific context — keep other changes minimal.

Step 3: Review Candidate Responses

After a candidate completes the assessment:

• Scoring — candidates earn one mark per correct answer. Scores appear automatically in their results.

• Final Report — all responses and scores for custom questions are included in the candidate's final report, giving you a clear breakdown of performance across every question type.
