Add questions
The Custom Question modal supports six question types. Each one is documented on its own sub-page; this index summarizes them and links onward.
Click + Create your own on the test edit page to open the Custom Question modal. The first row of the form is two fields: a Question Type dropdown (the six types below) and a Question Name field. Everything below the name swaps out based on the type.
Shared fields#
Every question - regardless of type - shares the same outer shell:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|

| Question Namerequired | A short, unique title shown in the test outline and the candidate panel. | |
| Question Body / Instructionrequired | The prompt the candidate sees. Rich text. For Challenge questions this is labelled Instruction. | |
| Difficulty | enum | Easy, Medium, Hard, or Expert. Surfaces in the question bank filters. |
| Tags | multi | Searchable labels. Reuse tags across the bank to make later filtering easy. |
| Time | minutes | Estimated time the candidate should spend on this question. Shown in the question header during the test. |
Choose a type#
Six types, each on its own page:
- Challenge - hands-on. Pick a recipe; the candidate solves it on a real VM in a console session.
- Single-choice - radio buttons, one option correct, auto-scored.
- Multi-choice - checkboxes, one or more options correct, auto-scored.
- Text-based - free-text rich-text response, reviewer-scored.
- Whiteboard - candidate diagrams the answer on an interactive canvas, reviewer-scored.
- True-False - binary "the statement is correct / incorrect", auto-scored.
Order and weighting#
Drag questions to reorder them inside a test. The candidate sees them in this order. Difficulty and time per question feed the test's total estimated duration on the test card.
