Note: “Total number of 15-year-olds in country” refers to the number of individuals who are 15 years old in the country; “Percent taking PISA” refers to the coverage rate of the PISA sample with respect to the total population of 15-year-olds; “Percent at PISA Level 4 or above (>544.7)” refers to the share of students who take the PISA test and perform at Level 4 or above of the PISA proficiency scale; “Estimated total 15-year-olds at PISA Level 4 or above”: absolute number of 15-year-olds in country who perform at a Level 4 or above of the PISA proficiency scale.
The methodology to estimate the total number of 15-year-olds at PISA Level 4 or above consists of the following calculation: “Total number of 15-year-olds in country” * “Percent taking PISA” * “Percent at PISA Level 4 or above.” The table includes countries that participated in PISA-D and as comparators countries that participated in PISA.
