Validity

                There are three major concepts in testing. Among the three, one is called validity. The term 'validity' means is the extent to which a concept, conclusion or measurement is well-founded and likely corresponds accurately to the intended outcome. 

             This test is particularly designed in a manner that the questions are directly related to the profession which it ought to test. It is an important criterion for the quality of the test. It checks whether the test measures what it aims to measure or not. 

1. Content validity-

                        The test items and the subject-related tasks are connected with each other. The test is supposed to evaluate only the content which is related to the field of study. A test is considered a good test if there is content validity.

2. Criterion-related validity-

                It puts emphasizes on the pre-designed criteria by the teacher. It is compared with other standard tests. It tends to compare the validity of the test with alternative sources.

1. Positive 

       It is a good test if it produces language learning capabilities in the students. It helps students to learn the language more. 

2. Negative 

      If the test creates anxiety and fear among students and doesn't help students to learn the language but actually find means to keep the test can be called negative backwash.
