According to the text, which of the following is NOT true of alternate form reliability estimates?
A) They are used to circumvent the problem of improvement due to practice which can occur in estimates of test-retest reliability.
B) They require the creation of two forms of the same test, in which the questions are phrased slightly differently but are intended to assess the same construct as the first.
C) They are used to circumvent the problem of familiarity with questions which can occur in estimates of test-retest reliability.
D) A low correlation between the two forms demonstrates good alternate-form reliability.
E) A high correlation between the two forms demonstrates good alternate-form reliability.
Alternate Form Reliability
The consistency of test scores among different versions of the same test, ensuring that various forms are comparable.
Test-Retest Reliability
A measure of consistency where a test is given to the same group of people at two different points in time, and the scores are compared to assess the reliability of the test.
Correlation
A measure of the relationship between two or more variables, indicating how changes in one variable are associated with changes in another.
- Acquire knowledge on the fundamentals of test reliability, such as test-retest reliability, split-half reliability, and alternate form reliability.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
A low correlation between the two forms would indicate poor alternate-form reliability, not good.
