+# JAB: Java Academic Benchmark
+
+## Overview
+
+The **Java Academic Benchmark (JAB)** is the first exam-based benchmark specifically designed to rigorously evaluate Large Language Models (LLMs) on Java Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) capabilities.
+
+JAB comprises 103 real Java exams administered between 2014 and 2024 at a top-tier academic institution, designed and curated by Professor Mirko Viroli, an experienced full professor and co-author of this project. This ensures that each task reflects pedagogically grounded and conceptually meaningful challenges.
+
+Unlike benchmarks that focus on isolated code snippets, JAB features full exam-style problems with expert-authored JUnit test suites, targeting class- and interface-level reasoning. Designed to assess human learners, these problems isolate common misconceptions and test deep understanding, offering granular insights into where and how models fall short.
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+Each exam in the JAB dataset is structured as follows:
+
+- **year**: Year of the exam session
+- **session**: Specific session identifier
+- **utility_classes**: Utility classes provided to students during the exam
+- **solution**: Gold solution created by Prof. Viroli (one of many possible solutions)
+- **test**: JUnit test cases that must be passed
+
+## Benchmark Significance
+
+JAB offers several unique advantages for evaluating LLMs on Java programming tasks:
+
+1. **Educational Validity**: Problems are designed by education experts to test conceptual understanding
+2. **Comprehensive Assessment**: Tasks require full class implementations rather than just completing isolated functions
+3. **Object-Oriented Focus**: Specifically targets OOP concepts including inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, and interfaces
+4. **Longitudinal Coverage**: Spans a decade of real academic assessments (2014-2024)
+5. **Test-Driven Evaluation**: Uses rigorous JUnit test suites for objective assessment
