Is an applicant allowed to “retake” an assessment for which he/she did not meet the established standard?
Allowing reassessment will depend on organizational policies. Some organizations permit reassessment within a few days; other organizations have reassessment periods of several months or longer. Reassessment policies should be established to meet the business needs of the organization without jeopardizing the security and integrity of the assessments. Reassessment is intended to give applicants a “second chance” within a reasonable period of time. Some organizations give applicants a “third chance” to allow them to make the necessary improvements in skills and abilities between assessment sessions.
