Practice mode is on by default. Account Manager candidates can complete a sample task, see the rubric, and then start the real assessment when they're ready.

Templates are first-class. You'll typically maintain one or two Account Mgr variants (e.g. mid vs senior) and clone the right one when a new req opens.
