8. Criterion-Related Validity Evidence

9. Test scores are related to an external criterion: Two Types

10. Concurrent Criterion

11. Measurements of a new test will be comparable with the older test

22. Kuder-Richardson Method

23. Split-half Method

30. Tests on subject such as English improves with increase instruction, tutoring, or studying of the example of English and not another subject.

31. 1st set of test scores will be comparable with 2nd set of test scores (not much change in variables)
