Assess validity is one of the most significant characteristics of an assessment procedure that is well designed. Validity is the degree to which a technique evaluates what it intends or claims to assess. Research indicates that one cannot gain anything from assessment unless there is some validity in the assessment for the purpose (Eddy et al., 2020).. This makes validity to be the most significant tool of a good test. Assess validity usually measures what it has been designed to without correspondence from other characteristics. For instance, when doing a test of reading comprehension, there is no need for mathematical ability. The types of validity which can be used in an assessment are; content validity, face validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity. It is usually normal that assessment validity should always have the best and effective coverage of the criteria ( skills, concepts, and knowledge) which is relevant to the purpose of the assessment (Eddy et al., 2020).. Validity has a significant relationship with reliability in any examination. An examination that has low validity will have low reliability meaning that a measurement that has very poor consistency or accuracy has a low likelihood to fit the purpose of the assessment. In order to improve assessment valid
