If a standardized test is said to lack reliability, the test:
  1. Is not measuring what it is supposed to measure.
  2. Has not proven to be useful as an instructional intervention.
  3. Gives fluctuating scores in different administrations.
  4. Has poor predictive value relative to students' classroom performance.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. Reliability indicates the degree to which a test yields consistent results over successive administrations. If a test yielded fluctuating results, it would be considered to have low reliability. Options A and D are incorrect because they describe other dimensions of test performance (i.e., content validity [A] and predictive validity [D]). Option B is incorrect because standardized tests are not designed to serve as instructional interventions.
