Equip’s own quizzes automatically show different questions to different candidates. If you want the same randomization with your own questions, create a Question Bank and a Question Bank Quiz.

​
Setting Up the Question Bank

A Question Bank (QB) is a large pool of your own questions. Each question carries a number of points, and those points double as the question’s difficulty level: a 1-point question is easier than a 5-point question.
1

Open Custom Tests

From the Assessments Dashboard, click the Custom Tests link in the sidebar.
2

Create a Question Bank

Choose the Question Bank test type and create a new bank.

Add questions and assign points

Add your questions to the bank, assign points to each one, and save.
Create one bank per skill, for example Java and Logical Reasoning. A single Question Bank Quiz can then mix questions from several banks.

​
Creating the Question Bank Quiz

You cannot add a Question Bank to an assessment directly. You must first create a Question Bank Quiz (QBQ) that draws from it.
A QBQ defines how many questions to draw from each bank at each difficulty level, which is the points you assigned per question. Every candidate then receives their own random selection. For example, with a Java bank and a Logical Reasoning bank, you could configure: Each candidate sees 8 questions in total, but not the same 8. You can also build a QBQ from a single bank.

​
Adding the Question Bank Quiz to an Assessment

Once the QBQ exists, add it to any new or existing assessment.

Question Pools

Regular custom quizzes offer two question types that add randomness or choice to specific questions:

​
Answer-Any-N Groups

The Answer Any question type groups several questions together and lets the candidate answer any N of them. For example, you can create 5 questions and let candidates choose any 3 to attempt.
