Test-retest reliability refers to the consistency of scores when the same test is taken by the same individuals at different times, and the similarity in GMAT scores between the first and second taking of the test falls under this category. Predictive reliability refers to the ability of a test to predict future performance, content reliability refers to the extent to which a test samples the content it is supposed to measure, criterion-related reliability refers to the extent to which a test correlates with an external criterion, and convergent reliability refers to the degree to which different measures of the same construct are related. None of these other types of reliability are applicable to the given scenario; therefore, the answer is A.
