More security always means better assessments. Remote testing is less secure than in-person testing. AI will replace assessment professionals. We've all heard these, and countless other assumptions that shape the assessment industry. But how many are actually true? In this interactive session, we'll challenge some of the industry's biggest myths through live polls, real-world examples, and practical case studies. Together, we'll separate fact from fiction and explore how long-held beliefs influence assessment design, security, candidate experience, and program success. We'll tackle questions like: Does stronger security create a worse candidate experience? Is proctoring the best investment? Should organizations focus on eliminating cheating or managing risk? Are we addressing the right threats? What role should AI play in modern assessment? Attendees will leave with practical, evidence-based strategies to build smarter, more effective assessment programs.
