NOTES: Data for the states of Alaska, Illinois, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, and Washington are not available because they did not participate in the survey. Differences exist in the wording of the question regarding group problem solving that may account for difference in results between the United States' averages on the two questionnaire administrations, the IAEP and the NAEP. See technical note for Indicator 19 for an explanation of the difficulties inherent in comparing results between the two administrations.
