Pretests typically are conducted to answer questions about the questionnaire such as the following:
1 . Can the questionnaire format be followed by the interviewer respondent for self-response?

3 . Are the questions clear and easy to understand?
4 . Can respondents answer the questions easily?
5 . Which alternative forms of questions work best?
