Dear Eva and other concerned etniers,

When I studied testing and research methods I was told that tests have to be
both reliable and valid
in other words:


What does it mean for an exam to be "valid" and "reliable?"

  a.. Valid exams successfully test the knowledge or skills they are
supposed to test.
  b.. Reliable exams provide a consistent way to measure different
candidates with predictable results.
Apparently, the new model system in neither, and the sooner the Ministry
does something about it the better.

If your students got consistently higher grades than their performance on
this test proves it doesn't mean they had a bad day, it means they had a bad
test!
