Abstract

I leave the work I’ve done to classify all UKLO questions below, with the latest appendices for historical record. From my recollection, this was the first complete system to classify all UKLO questions. Attempts at classifying UKLO questions before accounted for some questions but not others, leaving some questions unclassified. The classifications then were more labelling rather than a systemic approach that applied to all questions. As a result, this made it difficult for competitors and test development to find the questions they were looking for by subject area, and to find related questions. There was a need to provide an organised and clean system to classify not just some but all the questions in order to establish fundamental classification data, basic statistics, and enhanced usability for test development and competitors. The system is provided below and was displayed on the website under technical information. I’ve decided to leave the system unedited with further commentary and general thoughts about mistakes made, analysis of the scope of UKLO questions, and future projections. Further improvements are being made to the classification system for a greater user experience, but so far the system has been a huge success and is fully working and operational.
