Apex-Shortlist (no tools)

Apex-Shortlist (no tools) is a benchmark for hard reasoning in science, technology, engineering and math. The official description says: "Apex-Shortlist - no tools variant". Below we describe in simple words what benchmarks of this type generally examine.

Apex-Shortlist (no tools) measures hard reasoning in science, technology, engineering and math. In detail, it checks:

• graduate- and expert-level questions in science and math
• multi-step derivations where each step must be correct
• problems written to defeat memorisation (novel or recent exam problems)
• correct use of formulas, units and logical inference

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.

Official methodology note: Apex-Shortlist - no tools variant. Competitive math benchmark without tool use.
