Correlations are important in establishing test reliability and related test validity. Test reliability has four methods of testing. The first is the test-retest method, which is when the same test is given to students at two different occasions and the scores are then correlated for production. The second is the alternate form test, which is when two forms of the same test is given to students and the scores are then correlated.
