Feedback
A Split-half refers to internal consistency and involves dividing a scale into two halves and making a comparison.
B This response fits a quantitative study only partially and is incomplete for a quantitative, quasi-experimental study.
C Parallel form means that the same individuals are tested within a specific interval but the subjects are given a different form of the test on the second testing.
