Skills classified in this paper

Response items mapped to the pinned Smart Cub Learning 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.

Elevated medium-confidence mapping rate

Easy questions: 1
Medium questions: 7
Hard questions: 14

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.

Subject	Skill tag	Concept	Classification	Within-subject share	Items carrying tag	Easy / medium / hard weighted items
Maths	Calculate area	Measurement	Provisional analysis	4.6%	1 of 22	1 / 0 / 0

Classification coverage: 100% across 22 classified response items from 22 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.
