Abstract

Students enrolled in higher education usually possess a wide range of skills developed through their studies. More often than not they experience skills assessment conducted by focusing only on a single skill at a time. What seems to receive less attention in such assessments is related to finding a systematic way of detecting and consecutively overcoming difficulties caused by a need to apply multiple skills for solving join problems. Our suggestion to handle such troublesome cases is based on the binomial theorem and category scores.
