Extraction notes
Status: verified
Count reconciliation: The portal header declared 25 questions and 50 marks for the LLM section. The source PDF contains 1 administrative subject confirmation question (Question 1, 0 marks, excluded) and 24 academic questions (Questions 2 to 25). The 50 section marks reconcile exactly across the 24 academic questions: Q2 (1) + Q3 (2) + Q4 (2) + Q5 (2) + Q6 (2) + Q7 (1) + Q8 (1) + Q9 (1) + Q10 (2) + Q11 (2) + Q12 (2) + Q13 (3) + Q14 (3) + Q15 (2) + Q16 (2) + Q17 (2) + Q18 (3) + Q19 (2) + Q20 (2) + Q21 (2) + Q22 (3) + Q23 (3) + Q24 (3) + Q25 (2) = 50 marks. Total questions (1 confirmation + 24 academic = 25 questions) and total marks (50) reconcile fully without discrepancy.
- All 24 academic questions (Q2-Q25) have been verified against native text and 288 DPI visual renders.
