Evaluating Large Language Models on the 2026 Korean CSAT Mathematics Exam: Measuring Mathematical Ability in a Zero-Data-Leakage Setting
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
- A recent study evaluated the mathematical reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) using the 2026 Korean College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) Mathematics section, ensuring a contamination-free evaluation environment. The research involved digitizing all 46 questions immediately after the exam's public release, allowing for a rigorous assessment of 24 state-of-the-art LLMs across various input modalities and languages.
- This evaluation is significant as it highlights the performance of LLMs in a controlled setting, with GPT-5 Codex achieving a perfect score, indicating advancements in AI's ability to handle complex mathematical reasoning tasks. The results underscore the potential of LLMs in educational contexts, particularly in standardized testing scenarios.
- The findings contribute to ongoing discussions about the effectiveness of LLMs in educational applications and their alignment with student reasoning. As LLMs continue to evolve, frameworks like SMRC and TASA aim to enhance their capabilities in error correction and personalized tutoring, reflecting a growing interest in integrating AI into educational methodologies while addressing challenges such as data leakage and bias.
