Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
This dataset was collected as a part of the AYA Expedition initiative, for the Global Exams project.
Source Data
The original tests for all the topics were downloaded from the website of the National Academy of Students.
Exact link to each test question is provided in the source and file_name fields of the dataset.
Data Collection and Processing
Tests were downloaded during the period of August 25-27, 2024.
Only the questions with multiple-choice answers were selected from the tests. Questions depending on images/figures to be answered, were filtered out. Questions that required reading a paragraph & answering were not included either. Only a subset of available professional tests was included in the current version of the dataset.
Annotations
The dataset does not contain any additional annotations.
Personal and Sensitive Information
No personal, sensitive or private information included in the dataset.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
This dataset only includes the tests for a certain limited number of academic topics. There is a risk that some of the knowledge presented in the tests changes with time, especially in the area of finance and bookkeeping, so it is important to pay attention to the date of the data collection. This dataset only contains of Lithuanian academic tests and does not necessarily generalize to other languages.
Recommendations
Users should be aware of the risks and limitations of the dataset.
