3.5.2. Pilot Test
The purpose of the pilot test is to refine the questionnaire in order that respondents will have not any problems in answering the questions and there will be no problems in recording the information. Besides, it will enable you to get some assessment of the validity of the questions and also the likely reliability of the information that may be collected both for individual questions and, where appropriate, scales comprising several questions (Saunders et. al., 2019). A pilot study may be a necessary first step in investigating a single, unique intervention or a novel application of an intervention. Pilot results can help determine feasibility and indicate changes that need to be made in the design of a larger, subsequent hypothesis testing research. (Leon et. al., 2011). It can also help the researcher familiarize themselves with protocol procedures and may assist them in choosing between two competing study methods, such as the use of interviews rather than a selfadministered questionnaire. The error and weakness within the questionnaire may show through the pilot test in order that the questionnaire is often modified to form sure that it's correct before distributing it to the respondents. Due to the limited time, a minimum of ten respondents is chosen.
