Abstract: The Trends in Mathematics 

and Science Study (TIMSS) is an 

international assessment of fourth and 

eighth grade students’ achievement in 

mathematics and science. Since its 

inception in 1995, TIMSS has continued 

to assess students every 4 years (1995, 

1999, 2003, 2007, 2011). Participation in 

this study provides data on current and 

past education policies and a 

comparison of U.S. education policies 

with its international counterparts. 

Periodically, TIMSS has also conducted 

an assessment of advanced mathematics 

and physics of students at the end of 

secondary school (1995 and 2008). The 

United States participated in TIMSS 

Advanced in 1995, but not in 2008. 

Because of the current strong policy 

interest in preparedness for college and 

for careers in science, technology, 

engineering, and mathematics (STEM) 

fields, the U.S. plans to participate in 

TIMSS Advanced in 2015. This 

submission is for the 2015 TIMSS and 

TIMSS Advanced main study data 

collection that will take place in March– 

May, 2015.
