Split-half method
is administered once, but the test items are divided into two
halves. The common procedure is divide the test into odd
and even items. The two halves of the test must be similar
but not identical in content, number of items,difficulty,
means, and standard deviations. Each student obtains two
scores, one on the odd and the other even items in the
same test. The scores obtained in the two halves are
correlated. The result is reliability coefficient for a half test.
Since the reliability holds only for a half test, the reliability
coefficient for a whole test is estimated by using the
Spearman-Brown formula.
4. Internal consistency

scored items. The examinee either passes or fails in an
