In this study, we evaluated the performance of ChatGPT-4 Vision on Brazil's 2021 National Undergraduate Exam (ENADE) for Computer Science. ChatGPT-4 Vision is an advanced visual model developed by OpenAI. By presenting the model with exam questions in their original image format and allowing for reassessment with different answer keys, we assessed its reasoning and self-reflective capabilities in a large-scale academic assessment involving textual and visual content. Our findings showed that ChatGPT-4 Vision outperformed the average exam participant, ranking within the top 10 percentile. However, it faced challenges in question interpretation, logical reasoning, and visual acuity. This study contributes to existing research by exploring ChatGPT-4 Vision's self-reflective abilities on high-stakes academic exams. We utilized generative AI tools like ChatGPT-4, GitHub Copilot, and Gemini Advanced for manuscript revision, table creation, figure formatting, and data analysis code generation. The evaluation of Visual Language Models (VLMs) by Zhang et al. highlighted challenges in visual deductive reasoning tasks and emphasized the need for improved spatial reasoning techniques proposed by Mayne and Wu. While our work differs from previous studies focusing on visual deductive reasoning tasks, insights from these studies can enhance our understanding of ChatGPT-4 Vision's capabilities in multimodal reasoning tasks beyond visuals. To further evaluate the model's performance in real-world educational assessments, we suggest developing a MathVerse-like benchmark based on ENADE questions. The integration of visual capabilities into Language Learning Models (LLMs) has revolutionized natural language processing and holds promise for enhancing education in science and technology fields. However, human oversight remains crucial to verify the accuracy of models like ChatGPT-4 Vision and ensure fairness in high-stakes exams. Our findings underscore the importance of improved question design to enhance model performance and highlight areas where further research is needed to maximize the potential of multimodal AI models in educational assessments.

Introduction
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) models in various fields, including education. One such model is ChatGPT-4 Vision developed by OpenAI, which combines visual and language processing capabilities to perform tasks that require multimodal reasoning. In this study, we evaluated the performance of ChatGPT-4 Vision on Brazil's 2021 National Undergraduate Exam (ENADE) for Computer Science.
Background
ChatGPT-4 Vision is an advanced visual model that utilizes generative AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Gemini Advanced for manuscript revision, table creation, figure formatting, and data analysis code generation. It has shown promising results in natural language processing tasks but its performance on high-stakes academic exams involving both textual and visual content has not been extensively studied.
Methodology
To assess ChatGPT-4 Vision's reasoning and self-reflective abilities on ENADE questions, we presented the model with exam questions in their original image format and allowed for reassessment with different answer keys. This approach enabled us to evaluate its performance in a large-scale academic assessment involving both text and images.
Findings
Our findings showed that ChatGPT-4 Vision outperformed the average exam participant, ranking within the top 10 percentile. However, it faced challenges in question interpretation, logical reasoning, and visual acuity. These limitations highlight the need for improved spatial reasoning techniques proposed by Mayne and Wu.
Comparison with Previous Studies
The evaluation of Visual Language Models (VLMs) by Zhang et al. highlighted similar challenges in visual deductive reasoning tasks as observed in our study. This emphasizes the need for further research to enhance multimodal reasoning capabilities beyond visuals.
Implications for Education
The integration of visual capabilities into Language Learning Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 Vision holds promise for enhancing education in science and technology fields. However, human oversight remains crucial to verify the accuracy of these models and ensure fairness in high-stakes exams. Our findings underscore the importance of improved question design to enhance model performance and highlight areas where further research is needed to maximize the potential of multimodal AI models in educational assessments.
Future Directions
To further evaluate ChatGPT-4 Vision's performance in real-world educational assessments, we suggest developing a benchmark similar to MathVerse based on ENADE questions. This will provide a standardized platform for evaluating the model's capabilities and identifying areas for improvement.
Conclusion
In conclusion, our study contributes to existing research by exploring ChatGPT-4 Vision's self-reflective abilities on high-stakes academic exams involving both textual and visual content. While it showed promising results, there is still room for improvement in its reasoning and spatial reasoning capabilities. Further research is needed to fully harness the potential of multimodal AI models like ChatGPT-4 Vision in education.
