Testing Validity

Testing validity refers to how well a test measures what it’s supposed to measure. For example, if a math test is meant to assess your math skills, validity ensures that the test truly reflects your math ability and not other unrelated factors. A valid test provides accurate, meaningful results about the specific quality or trait it aims to evaluate. Ensuring validity means that the test is relevant, appropriate, and effective for its intended purpose, giving confidence that the results are true and useful indicators of what they seek to assess.
