Alternate Forms Reliability: Alternate forms reliability is similar to parallel forms reliability, where two or more different versions of a test are administered under similar conditions to measure the same construct.

Split-Half Reliability: Split-half reliability is a method where a single assessment tool is divided into two halves, and then scores on both halves are compared for consistency.
