The PISA data collected from each cycle are found in an international database and a U.S. national database. The international database contains all information collected through the international PISA instruments. The national database contains additional variables that are unique to the United States, such as student's race and ethnicity. Both the international and national databases come with documentation and example programs for reading in data and conducting analyses. These resources are listed below.
