The average for 2022 based on 78 countries was 437.426 index points. The highest value was in Singapore: 542.553 index points and the lowest value was in Cambodia: 328.843 index points. The indicator is available from 2000 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

The positions of Russia in the PISA global ranking of countries by literacy of 15-year-old students decreased in 2018 for all three categories under consideration compared to 2015. While in 2015, the country ranked 23rd by mathematical skills among 70 participating countries, in 2018, it received the 30th place among 79 countries. The number of score points received for each subject also decreased between 2015 and 2018.

Estonia was the European country which had the highest combined score in the 2022 PISA survey, which indicates that the small north-eastern European country achieves the best outcomes from its education system, when compared with other European countries. While Estonia performed best in mathematics and science, Ireland performed the best in 2022 in reading. Romania was the European country which performed most poorly across all three indicators.

In 2022, Brazil's PISA results were below the OECD average. The mathematics score was 93 points below average, while the reading score was 66 points below average.

In the PISA test 2022, Finnish students performed well above the OECD average in reading, mathematics, and science knowledge. Finnish students scored 490 points in reading, 484 points in mathematics, and 511 in science. OECD’s Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study that evaluates educational systems in selected countries by assessing student performance in reading, mathematics, and science. It was conducted for the first time in 2000 and then repeated every three years. Finnish PISA success Finland has been among the top-ranking countries in all PISA tests since 2000, but in recent years the Nordic country has shown decline in performance. The downward trend of Finland's mean score continued in 2022. While the ranking in science literacy remained at its previous level, reading and mathematical literacy performance declined. Meanwhile, Estonia has surpassed Finland in the PISA ranking as the European leader. Large gender gap in reading skills Finnish students continued to perform well in reading literacy, but the difference in reading skills of girls and boys has been one of the widest in the participating countries. Another worrying trend has been the increasing influence of socio-economic background on learning outcomes. In particular, the number of poor-performing readers in the lowest socioeconomic quarter has been on the rise, while the results of the highest socioeconomic groups have remained the same.

Context

PISA stands for "Program for International Student Assessment" and it is applied to 15 year-old students across the world to assess their performance in Math, Reading and Science. These are the 2015 scores.

Content

The dataset contains mean (Pisa) attainment scores in math, reading and science by country and gender.

The average score of Polish students in terms of reading comprehension was *** points in 2022. In maths, Polish 15-year-olds scored *** points, ** points higher than the OECD average. In the natural sciences, Polish students achieved an average score of *** points, which places them in sixth place among the European Union countries. Examinations in primary school Primary school students take an exam at the end of the eighth grade. The eighth-grade exam is a mandatory exam, which means that every student must take it to graduate from school. There is no specified minimum score that a student should obtain, so the eighth-grade exam cannot be failed. The eighth-grade examination is carried out in written form. Students take the exam in three compulsory subjects, i.e., Polish language, mathematics, and a foreign language of their choice. A student may choose only the language that is taught at school as part of compulsory education classes. In 2023, primary school students in Poland had the best results in exams in the ****** language. High school graduation exam (Matura) The Matura exam is taken at the end of general secondary and technical secondary school and its result is a prerequisite for further education. In 2023, over *** thousand graduates of secondary schools passed the Matura exams. The most popular foreign language was English, passed by ** percent of students. English and mathematics were the most popular subjects at an extended level. The exam pass rate amounted to ** percent, which was ** percentage points higher than in the previous school year.

The PISA 2018 results showed that Russian 15 year-olds received a lower score in all three categories under consideration compared to 2015. The highest score was achieved in mathematics, at 488 points. Furthermore, Russia had a lower number of points in reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy compared to the average score obtained by participating OECD countries in 2018.

In the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted in 2022, students in South Korea scored *** points in mathematics and *** points in science, ranking second in both categories among the member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). South Korean students were also third in the OECD in reading literacy.

The average for 2022 based on 26 countries was 468.572 index points. The highest value was in Ireland: 516.01 index points and the lowest value was in Cyprus: 381.076 index points. The indicator is available from 2000 to 2022. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Belarusian 15-year-old students received 474 score points in reading in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2018. Scores in mathematics and science were slightly lower. The country participated in the study for the first time in 2018.

IntroductionEarlier research has suggested that that the international large-scale assessment, PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), may be looked upon as a form of school test that is mostly explained by participating students’ socioeconomic status, non-cognitive factors, and various school factors, whereas another strand of research focuses on the similarities between PISA and cognitive ability assessments such as IQ tests. The latter position does also highlight the strong relationships between PISA scores and IQ test scores, typically aggregated to the country level. The current article adds to this scholarly debate by examining the latest PISA survey from 2018.MethodsCorrelation, regression, moderator, and mediation analyses were run for aggregated country-level data (N = 77) from PISA 2018.ResultsThe results indicate that PISA scores indeed are strongly associated with both cognitive ability test scores and socioeconomic status indicators such as average annual national income.DiscussionA more nuanced position suggests that PISA should be labelled a test that measures cognitive school skills rather than a proxy of national IQ, as the link between country-level abilities and school age abilities is neither causal, nor theoretically and empirically palpable, yet partly robust.
