TMS 5: Your Tests in Minutes

Prepare, Administer and Analyze

You know the situation. You just got off the phone with the hiring manager of your largest customer department. She needs a widget analyst and she needs one now. Of course, you need an assessment right away, but this is a new classification, and valid tests need to be carefully crafted. The whole process could take weeks and you have only hours.

Stop. Back up. Go back in time, just a few minutes earlier, to the phone call. This time, don't let that hiring manager off the phone. Imagine that you're equipped with Sigma TMS 5. Just start up the TMS 5 software and log in using your secure ID. Ask your customer about the position's KSA requirements and select the appropriate KSA domain from the software's navigation tree.

Instantly, TMS 5 tells you how many items are stored in your bank to test each knowledge or skill area. Within minutes, you'll have a draft exam in Microsoft Word format, ready to print or e-mail to the hiring manager for fast approval.

While you're at it, why not adjust the assessment on the spot? Using the historical performance of items in your TMS 5, you can remove items that have been proven too easy, too difficult, unreliable or those that have shown adverse impact in the past.

After you've chosen the right number of test items with acceptable performance history, you can organize the questions at your discretion, listed by category, at random or in order of difficulty. With one more click, you publish the test and it's ready for administration. Speaking of administration, TMS 5 can create test materials for traditional paper-and-pencil tests or secure, web-based tests.

With TMS 5, you can load and review item analysis statistics from the Sigma Applicant Management System (AMS 5). The software maintains separate statistics and frequencies for each administration of each item in each test. That means you can analyze results across administrations for any specific exam, any particular job or occupational group or a combination of factors. Then, TMS 5 presents the reports in graphics, columnar data or both.

From creation to post-administration, TMS 5 makes the development of employment exams easier, faster and more efficient. Simple as that. If you want to select smarter, select Sigma.
