You can tell that a test is reliable when many can take it and it holds up. A reliable test can't be biased, and it must measure what it says it's going to measure. A reliable test stands up when compared to other tests.

A test may be reliable but not necessarily validIs it possible for a test to be valid but not reliable?

A test may be reliable but not valid. A test may not be valid but not reliable. For example, if I use a yard stick that is mislabeled to measure the distance from tee to hole in golf on different length holes, the results will be neither reliable nor valid. If you use the same stick to measure football fields that are the same length the result will reliable (repeatable, consistent) but not valid (wrong numbers of yards). There is no test that is unreliable (repeatable, consistent) and valid (measures what we are looking for).
