Additional Assessment Attempts to Individual Candidates

Introduction:

At Testlify, we understand that every candidate’s journey is unique. Whether a candidate faced technical issues, mistakenly submitted their test early, or simply needs another opportunity to showcase their skills, giving them another chance can make all the difference.

Our "Additional Assessment Attempts" feature allows you to grant extra attempts to individual candidates without having to resend the invite or duplicate the assessment. It’s a quick and flexible way to ensure a fair testing experience.

How to Provide Additional Attempts to a Candidate

Follow the steps below to set additional attempts for a specific candidate:

1. Log in to your workspace:

   https://app.testlify.com/

FAQs

1. Will the candidate receive a new invite email after I add more attempts?
