Every test type in the assessment builder offers two sources of questions: Equip Content, drawn from Equip’s pre-built question banks, and My Content, which is any Custom Test you create yourself.

​
What Is Equip Content

Equip Content is Equip’s own library of curated questions, organized by skill and difficulty. You pick a skill and an experience level, and Equip assembles the test for you, so you can create a complete assessment in seconds without writing a single question. Equip Content is built for fairness and integrity:
  • Quiz questions are randomized per candidate: each candidate gets different questions from a large pool, in a shuffled order, with shuffled options. See Same or Random Questions.
  • Quiz questions stay hidden from recruiters, both during creation and in results, so the question bank cannot leak. See Why You Cannot See Quiz Questions.
  • Timers, points, and negative marking are fixed and cannot be changed. Proctoring settings can still be adjusted.
For non-quiz Equip Content, such as Programming and SQL challenges, you can select the exact question and see it in candidate results.

​
What Is My Content

My Content refers to Custom Tests: tests you build with your own questions, across every test type, Quiz, Coding Challenge, Video Response, Question Bank, and Question Bank Quiz.

Custom Tests let you write your own questions across 15 question types, set points, negative marking, time limits, and the display mode, and see every response a candidate submitted.
Custom Tests belong to your whole team. Teammates can view, edit, and reuse them across multiple assessments.

​
When to Use Each

Neither option supports a single timer for the whole assessment. Candidates can take breaks between tests, so time limits apply at the test or question level instead.
Choose Equip Content when speed and reliability matter most. Choose Custom Content when the role demands questions specific to your company, or when you need control over points, timers, display modes, or full visibility into what each candidate answered.
You do not have to pick one. An assessment can freely combine Equip Content and Custom Tests, for example an Equip quiz for screening plus a custom Video Response test for role-specific questions.
Custom coding challenges are easy to get wrong: a small mistake in test cases or boilerplate can mark every submission incorrect. For Programming and SQL, Equip strongly recommends its own questions, which are battle-tested by thousands of candidates. See Issues with Custom Coding Challenges.
