A
measures what it claims to measure or predicts what it is supposed to predict.
B
yields dependably consistent scores.
C
has been standardized on a representative sample of all those who are likely to take the test.
D
samples the behavior that is being assessed.
E
produces a normal distribution of scores.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reliability refers to the consistency of a measure. 1 A test is considered reliable if we get the same result repeatedly. For example, if a test is designed to measure a trait (such as introversion), then each time the test is administered to a subject, the results should be approximately the same.

Detailed explanation-2: -*Reliability-the extent to which a test yields consistent results, as assessed by the consistency of scores on two halves of the test, on alternate forms of the test, or on retesting.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reliability is the degree to which an assessment tool produces stable and consistent results.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reliability Example: IQ Test An intelligence test, or IQ test (IQ = intelligence quotient), typically has a mean score of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Therefore, a score of 130 is 2 standard deviations above the mean, which indicates the person receiving that score is above average in intelligence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Formative Assessment is the most powerful type of assessment for improving student understanding and performance.
