Adding a Test to an Existing Job or Test Battery

Updated by Amy Thomas

Need to update the tests associated with an existing job or an existing test battery? You can easily add individual tests or change which test battery is associated with your existing job.

Your subscription may include the option to provide your candidates with assessments in alternative languages. If you have selected a default and alternate language/s in the Job Settings, making changes to the test battery will cause the language selection to default to English.
You will need to reselect this in Job Settings once the changes to the test battery have been saved. If the new test is not available in the alternate language/s, this cannot be set in the job. Learn more.
