Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This dataset was collected as a part of the AYA Expedition initiative, for the Global Exams project.

Source Data

The original tests for security guards, used in this dataset, were downloaded from the website of MB "Gynyba".

The original employee safety and health in the fishing industry tests were downloaded from the website of the Silutes Vocational Training Center.

The original tests for hairdressers, hotel houskeepers, room attendants, sales assistants, shop assistants and waiters were downloaded from the website of the Qualifications, Vocational Education and Training Development Centre in Lithuania.

Exact link to each test question is provided in the source and file_name fields of the dataset.

Data Collection and Processing

Tests were downloaded during the period of August 25-27, 2024.

Only the questions with multiple-choice answers were selected from the tests. Questions depending on images/figures to be answered, were filtered out. Questions that required reading a paragraph & answering were not included either. Only a subset of available professional tests was included in the current version of the dataset.

Annotations

Personal and Sensitive Information

No personal, sensitive or private information included in the dataset.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This dataset only includes the tests for a certain limited number of professions. There is a risk that some of the knowledge presented in the tests changes with time, so it is important to pay attention to the date of the data collection. This dataset only contains of Lithuanian professional tests and does not necessarily generalize to other languages.

Recommendations

Users should be aware of the risks and limitations of the dataset.
