Course Summary

General Mental Ability (GMA) refers to the capacity of an individual to effectively process information at a quick pace to understand, learn, reason and solve problems. The overall GMA score tends to explain the variation in individual performance more than specific course-related knowledge and abilities.

The Item Writing for GMA (Numerical) course primarily focusses on the reasoning capability of an individual with numbers and numerical formulations. The course has been designed to help learners create tests for assessing the numerical reasoning skills of indviduals.

The course introduces learners to 15+ item types in numerical reasoning with examples and skills that would be assessed. It gives learners an understanding on the core processes involved in numerical reasoning to help create effective tests for analysing an individual's ability.

Hands-On

A virtual hands-on environment is integrated within the course.

This course "Item Writing for GMA (Numerical)" is my first online course with TCS iON. I have found the course material to be comprehensive and informative and have learnt a lot and really enjoyed the course. Our mentors, namely Dr. U. N. Dash and Dr. Priyanka Goswami, were encouraging and supportive, as well as being really thorough in the subject. Our mentors are able to provide a rich learning experience for every student at the convenience of the student. The coordinator has always been helpful and efficient and quick to respond to queries. I am impressed with the course materials and the technical management of the course. I am looking forward to such more courses.

First of all, it’s a great honour to be a part of this General Mental Ability course. The course introduced me different types of items in numerical reasoning such as reasoning with numbers, data sufficiency, data interpretation, attention and vigilance. This course offered me an opportunity to think widely and explored my mind in order to create different types of items. Also, this course increased my logical and numerical reasoning, critical and creative thinking, number sensitivity and many more. Very interesting and valuable course, I have learnt a lot from this course like how to decide the difficulty level of items, what things you have to keep in the mind while creating these items, which core intellectual process is tapped in which type of item. Our mentors and meeting host was very helpful. I like the way our mentors involve all the participants during the lectures and explain each type of items with examples.

A thorough course that enables us to learn at our own pace and have access to the instructor whenever needed. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and hope to expand on my gained knowledge about Item Creation. The course was well presented, easy to follow and engaging. The examples in the course content made it easier to grasp. I definitely recommend this course to anyone who wishes to learn about Item Creation. Learned a lot from this course. It was a great experience.

Firstly, I would like to thank the entire team of TCS iON for their kind co-operation and co-ordination throughout the course. It was really a great experience to learn with the team. The learning schedules, digital classes were well organised and executed by the expert teams. The recorded lectures were provided by the team which help in re-listening and understanding the content which was of great use. The appropriate explanation about the specific topics were given by the experts in the subjects, which helped us to develop various thought dimensions of learning, developing, solving, completing assignments and also help us, how to limit the thought at a point were understood and known. Personally, I feel it as a complete course as it enables learners to think, understand, develop, execute and reach to solution in one go. The course provides the freedom of thought, creativity, flexibility to the learners. Which help the learner to develop, to explain and to explore the ideas. The critical and creative thinking, problem-solving skills along with the analytical skills were developed. The doubts clarification and the availability of the guide enable me to learn more effectively.
