Creating a Test

How to create a new test — name, folder, single-section vs multi-section, and what happens after creation.

Published 2026/06/15

Click Create in the My Tests toolbar to open the new test dialog. Creating a test takes a few seconds — most configuration happens inside the editor after creation.

Test Name

Enter a unique name for your test. No two tests in your organization can share the same name. The name is displayed in the tests list, inside the editor, and when the test is linked to a task.

Folder

Choose the folder the test will be organized into. You can select an existing folder from the dropdown or type a new folder name to create it on the spot. Folders help keep your tests list organized, especially when you have many tests across different departments or purposes.

Description

An optional short description of the test. This is for internal use only — it appears in the test editor and can help teammates understand the test's purpose at a glance.

Sections

Choose whether your test will use a single section or multiple sections.

  • Single section — the test has one section created automatically. This is the right choice for most tests. You can still create many pages within that section.
  • Multiple sections — you define section names up front. Each section becomes an independent structural unit with its own navigation control, shuffle settings, time limit, and starting content. Use this for tests that are logically divided into distinct parts (e.g., Verbal + Quantitative, or Part A + Part B).

When multiple sections is selected, use the section list in the dialog to add, rename, or remove sections before creating the test. At least one section is required.

After Creation

Once you click Create, the test is saved and you are taken directly to the test editor. The test starts empty — no pages or questions yet. Add pages, populate them with questions, configure settings, and set up reporting before linking the test to a task.

You can add more sections later inside the editor, so don't worry if you're not sure about the structure yet — start with a single section and expand as needed.
