# YKS Uniform

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

![Scientia dux vitae certissimus](https://yks-uniform.github.io/assets/bilim_agaci.jpg)

Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) demonstrate impressive problem-solving skills across many tasks and domains. However, their ability to reason over structured, curriculum-based educational questions—particularly in the context of Turkish high school entrance examinations—has not been systematically studied.

To address this gap, we introduce YKS Uniform, a balanced multimodal benchmark covering the Turkish high school curriculum with equal representation across all topics. By sampling six questions per topic, we constructed a dataset of 1,854 multimodal questions spanning both TYT and AYT exams. These questions require deep reasoning over text, diagrams, and exam-style contexts.

Using this benchmark, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of 16 open-weight and proprietary models. Our results highlight both the strengths and limitations of current models in handling exam-style reasoning tasks. The best-performing system, Gemini-2.5-Flash, achieved an overall accuracy of %84.7, substantially higher than open-weight alternatives but still leaving a measurable gap to human-level performance.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
Developed by METU Computer Engineering. A 1854 multimodal exam preparation questions spanning 309 topics in Turkish High School curriculum. Each topic is equally represented by sampling first six questions of each topic's test from publicly available e-books of a publisher (hence the name Uniform). For academic use only.
