ACS Students’ Results from PISA 2012

ACS recently received the official results of our students’ performance at the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012. PISA is a triennial international survey developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that takes place since 2000. It evaluates education systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-16-year-old students in the key subjects: reading, mathematics and science, with a focus on one subject in each year of assessment. In 2012, the assessment focused on students’ knowledge in mathematics.

A total of 34 ACS students, randomly selected from the target group, took part in PISA 2012. Their average result in mathematics is 611 points. This result is 117 points higher than the average result of the students from OECD countries. The average result in mathematics for all Bulgarian students who participated in PISA 2012 is 439 points.
