Answer:

concurrent

Step-by-step explanation:

Test Validity and Reliability is known as the degree in which a test or other measuring device are truly measuring what is intended to measure. The test question “1 + 1 = ___2__” is a valid basic addition question that truly measures a student’s ability to perform basic addition. In many cases it becomes less valid as a measurement of advanced addition because as it put emphasis on some required knowledge for addition, it does not represent all of knowledge required for an advanced understanding of addition. On a test designed to measure knowledge of American History, this question becomes completely invalid. The ability to add two single digits has nothing do with history.
