This year all participants completed the online version of the test.
The tests were staken by students from Grade 3 to Grade 10. Below are the average test scores by grade in each of the four test areas:
Reading
Writing - Narrative / Reflective
Writing - Exposition / Argument
Mathematical Literacy
The charts show the average for ISP students compared to the world-wide average scores in the same grade. Because the worldwide average results do vary each year differences of less than 20 are unlikely to be statistically significant.
Relative to WW scores our weakest area last year was Exposition and Argument. There is strong evidence that teachers successfully addressed this matter as this year in Secondary Exposition and Argument is now our strongest area relative to WW scores.
Reading continues to be our strongest area in Primary with mathematics also strong.
