Skills classified in this paper

Response items mapped to the pinned Smart Cub Learning skill graph. Multi-skill questions split their weight between tags.

Some skill tags are provisional taxonomy classifications

The response-item mapping passed the automated source, coverage, grouping, and confidence checks, but at least one graph skill boundary still awaits specialist review. Provisional rows are labelled below and are never used for rising or falling trend signals.
Easy questions
9
Medium questions
38
Hard questions
11

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 58 classified response items from 58 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.
