May we administer assessments as “practice tests” to help employees meet assessment standards for a future job?
You should never administer assessments to employees except for selection, certification, training and development, or research purposes. Allowing individuals to take practice tests will encourage employees to place more emphasis on “passing” than on improving skills and abilities needed for a job. In addition, some employees may feel discriminated against if some individuals receive more coaching than others through the use of practice tests.
