Ryan and his middle-school teammates buy a sports magazine and take the test entitled "Do you have what it takes to make the CFL?" Given our textbook's discussion of test construction, what advice would be best to give to Ryan?
A) The norms were probably established using college students and so the results wouldn't apply to you.
B) Keep practicing because unless an injury gets in the way, the test's results are likely to be reliable and valid.
C) Magazine tests are usually valid instruments, but they are rarely reliable and so the results only explain current football skills.
D) Don't take the results too seriously because the test is just a list of questions that someone thought sounded good.
