# Create an assessment Create assessments tailored to your organization's needs by following these steps: ### **Create Assessment** Go to "**My Assessments**" from the left-hand menu and then click on "**Create New Assessment**" button as shown in the image below:
### **Choose your Assessment Type and Language** Select whether you want to create a **Speaking Assessment** or a **Writing Assessment**.
When creating a **Speaking Assessment**, you will be able to select the language for the test taker's evaluation (see the image below for the selection step). For a **Writing Assessment**, test takers will always be assessed in English (US) by default.
### **Choose from Clone or Custom Assessment** You have two options for creating assessments: **Clone from library** and **Assessment with custom questions.**
**Clone from Library** Select one or more pre-created assessments from our library. You can share it directly with candidates or students to quickly evaluate their skills using the Speechace platform. **Assessment with custom questions** Create your own custom questions and content. Use our rich editor to design speaking or writing assessments, including read-aloud texts, open-ended questions, task-based assignments, essay writing, and describe-an-image questions. ***
