Data

The VMLU Dataset comprises 58 distinct subjects, with the majority containing approximately 200 questions. These subjects are systematically categorized into four primary domains: STEM, Humanities, Social Sciences, and a broad category designated as 'Others.'
The dataset primarily originates from examinations administered by a diverse array of esteemed educational institutions, spanning elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as universities. Additionally, a portion of the dataset is sourced from high school graduation examinations, meticulously organized and overseen by the Ministry of Education and Training.
The difficulty level of the subjects is classified into four distinct tiers, contingent upon the depth of knowledge required, including Elementary School, Middle High School, High School, and the Professional level, which encompasses both undergraduate and graduate examination standards.
Below are some sample questions for reference.
