Notes

Problem-Attic contains 351 PISA-released items for mathematics, science and reading, with an additional category called “problem solving” which is somewhat multi-disciplinary.

PISA is a worldwide study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Its purpose is to evaluate educational systems by measuring 15-year-old students' performance on mathematics, science, and reading. It was first administered in 2000 and then repeated every three years. PISA aims to provide comparable data so that participating countries can improve their education policies and outcomes. It measures problem-solving and cognition in daily life.
