Evaluating LLMs on Kazakhstan's mathematics exam for university admission

These findings provide important empirical evidence that LLMs can perform competitively on mathematics tasks in non-English languages. The results challenge prior assumptions about limited performance in under-resourced linguistic settings and highlight the potential of LLMs to support bilingual education and promote equitable access to higher education.

Abstract

These findings provide important empirical evidence that LLMs can perform competitively on mathematics tasks in non-English languages. The results challenge prior assumptions about limited performance in under-resourced linguistic settings and highlight the potential of LLMs to support bilingual education and promote equitable access to higher education.
