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.

I had a great experience in learning the skill of Item Writing and I would recommend this to other students as well who want to grow academically and professionally through the course, I learned many new things. The instructors were very approachable, knowledgeable, patient and had a positive approach towards our doubts. Modules were well formulated and the reading materials and video lessons contributed a lot to our knowledge of Item Writing. I would like to express my gratitude towards both the instructors as well as TCS iON Course Manager for their valuable guidance and support.

The course of Verbal Reasoning has been more than splendid. What I found best is that even if due to classes or exams or any other issue I wasn’t able to attend the online sessions, I was able to have access to those on the platform whenever I found time. Other than that, the teachers have been very cooperative and very understanding and cleared the doubts whenever they were raised. This course has been very knowledgeable and productive and quite different from everything we have learned or have been offered to learn before. I think there is hardly such courses that I know which focuses on mental abilities and reasoning and their formation. So that’s a plus. Other than that there aren’t complaints and the course is going very fluently. I thank the team for giving me the chance to get into this course.

My experience with the whole programme is very satisfactory. The programme offered me a space to explore the field of Item Writing.
This is crucial to improve my expertise in the same, to grow in the field of education.
The technicalities and challenges one face in item construction was comprehensively covered in the course content and were discussed extensively in the digital as well as weekly sessions. Timely assignments helped in improving the skill of item construction.
The TCS iON Course Manager was very receptive to students' queries concerning course and assignment submission. She managed the programme very well.

Before having the golden chance to learn through the said course, I had limited knowledge about the importance of General Mental Ability. But with the ongoing course, I have not only inculcated a good knowledge about it, but have also been able to develop a keen interest in terms of understanding the mindset of the test taker and then creating the item accordingly. It has been an insightful journey with all the mentors and Mary ma'am. All of them have contributed greatly to my learning. The classes have been quite interactive throughout, giving us the space and the opportunity to discuss our doubts and progress. The mindful and keen construction of the modules is brilliant. Besides, the quiz and the regular assignments have proved to be a great asset for my learning. I would conclude by thanking the entire TCS team for giving me this wonderful opportunity for learning about a wholly vivid field which is not only imperative to have a strong professional stand but is also significant for personal cognitive growth.

The Item Writing for GMA (Verbal) online course by TCS iON is a very useful and well-structured course. As a participant I learned a lot from it which improved my item development capacity. The live lectures were very helpful as well as the recorded videos which are available on the platform can be revisited any time in case of better understanding of a concept is required. I particularly loved the explicit method of presentation used in the recorded videos. Congratulations to TCS iON for developing such a crisp course! Thanks for making me the part of it indeed!
