Enhancing Validity and Reliability: Adjustments made during the pre-test phase improve the accuracy and consistency of the study. Optimizing Resources: Efficient use of time, funding, and personnel is facilitated by identifying and addressing issues early. Ensuring Ethical Compliance: Pre-testing helps ensure that the study adheres to ethical standards, protecting participants' rights and well-being.
