years. The sixth cycle of PISA, in 2015, 

will be administered in approximately 

70 countries and jurisdictions. The 

United States has participated in all of 

the previous cycles and will participate 

in 2015 in order to track trends and to 

compare the performance of U.S. 

students with that in other education 

systems. As in 2006, in PISA 2015, 

science will be the major subject 

domain. PISA 2015 will also include 

computer-based assessments in reading, 

mathematics, collaborative problem
