Question

Reliability refers to the consistency of scores on a measure over time, so the fact that the candidate scored within a similar range on three different administrations of the test indicates that the test is reliable. Validity refers to the degree to which a test measures what it is intended to measure, and while the scores suggest that the test is measuring something about the candidate's abilities, we have no information about whether the test is actually measuring what it is intended to measure. Strong and relevant are not relevant terms in this context.
