# MaLLM-Bench - Malaysian Exam Benchmark Dataset

## Dataset Summary
The Malaysian Exam Benchmark Dataset is a collection of questions derived from Malaysia’s national examinations, designed to evaluate the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) in understanding the Malay language and its cultural nuances. This dataset addresses gaps in existing benchmarks like MMLU and its translations by incorporating culturally relevant and contextually rich content.

The dataset includes questions from primary and secondary school exams such as Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR), Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3), Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR). The subjects span various areas of study, such as history, geography, and Islamic study, making it a well-rounded resource for evaluating LLMs on tasks that require both language understanding and cultural relevance.
