Skills classified in this paper

Response items mapped to the pinned Trace Learn skill graph. Multi-skill questions split their weight between tags.

This paper-level analysis needs review

The document reached terminal classification, but the response-item analysis still carries one or more review conditions. Its granular tags are visible as uncertain paper-level evidence and are never used as trend evidence or for rising and falling signals.

  • Taxonomy skill boundary review
  • Elevated medium-confidence mapping rate
  • Ambiguous paper grouping

Paper-level difficulty counts include every classified response item, including creative-writing prompts. Sitting-year difficulty trends compare objective response items only, so those totals use a different, explicitly labelled denominator.

Classification coverage: 100% across 56 classified response items from 56 detected. Ratios describe classified items only, so any uncovered detected items are not silently treated as another skill. This profile is automated and is not represented as independent human review. Confirmed, provisional taxonomy, and provisional analysis labels show which claims can safely contribute to trend evidence.
