A reliable test should:

Provide similar scores for the same student under similar conditions.

Reliability in testing refers to the consistency of test scores over time and under similar conditions. A reliable test will yield similar results for the same individual if they take the test multiple times under the same circumstances, indicating that the test measures a stable trait or knowledge base rather than transient factors like memorization skills or varying interpretations of questions. The other options would compromise the reliability of the test.
