1 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores are reported on a scale from 0 to 1,000. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 To reach a particular proficiency level, a student must correctly answer a majority of items at that level. Students were classified into mathematics literacy levels according to their scores. Exact cut scores are as follows: below level 1 (a score less than 357.77); level 1 (a score of at least 357.77 but less than 420.07); level 2 (a score of at least 420.07 but less than 482.38); level 3 (a score of at least 482.38 but less than 544.68); level 4 (a score of at least 544.68 but less than 606.99); level 5 (a score of at least 606.99 but less than 669.30); and level 6 (a score of at least 669.30). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 Refers to the mean of the data values for all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, to which each country contributes equally, regardless of the absolute size of the student population of each country. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 At least 50 percent but less than 75 percent of the 15-year-old population is covered by the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) sample. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 Did not meet 85 percent threshold for school participation. However, data are considered to be largely comparable with data from other countries or education systems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 Did not meet 80 percent threshold for student participation. However, data are considered to be largely comparable with data from other countries or education systems. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 Although Spain's PISA 2018 data met international technical standards, its reading literacy data show unusual student response behaviors that prevent these data from being reported at this time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 Less than 50 percent of the 15-year-old population is covered by the PISA sample. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 Although Vietnam participated in PISA 2018, technical problems with its data prevent results from being included in this table. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
