General Details

The General Details section is the first page you see when creating a test, and it must be completed before adding test questions. This form captures essential information about the test. Some fields help hiring teams understand the test’s purpose and determine if it aligns with role requirements, while others define test duration, scoring, and candidate instructions.

Below is a brief explanation of each field:

• Name: The name of the test, which is how you and your colleagues will identify it when adding it to assessments. The test name is also displayed to candidates before the test begins. Test names must be unique among all custom tests, except for cloned tests, which can retain the same name. Cloned tests are identified by the word "clone" and the version number (when greater than 1), in parentheses, following the test name in the Overview view. For example, (clone 2) indicates it is the second clone of the original test, regardless of whether it was cloned from the original or from another clone.

• Audience Language: A dropdown to select the test's audience language. Only jobs matching this language can use the test in their assessments.

  • Coding skills

• Scoring Criteria: Choose between Every question has the same score (where the system assigns 10 points per correct answer) or Questions can have different scores (allowing scores from 1 to 10 per question).
