  1. (D) If the College Board neglected to put any questions that had to do with neuroscience on the AP
    Psychology exam one year, the test would lack content validity. A valid test measures what it is
    supposed to measure. A test with high content validity covers all the areas it is supposed to in the
    appropriate level of depth. Predictive and concurrent validity are two types of criterion validity. A
    test with predictive validity provides a measure of how someone will perform on a task in the
    future, whereas concurrent validity provides a measure of how someone will perform at the
    present time. Face validity is a shallow type of content validity; if a test is supposed to assess
    mathematical skill and contains math problems, it has face validity.
