1) The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) tested 15 year-olds in several countries in math,
science, and reading as part of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This chart sums the average scale
score of the three tests.
2) 'Gross Domestic Product Per Capita (US$ Equivalent) is the total economic output of the country divided by the population of
the country converted into the equivalent US$. It's a good measure of how economically efficient a country is.
3) Finland has the highest test scores with a GDP per capita of about US$26,000.
4) The Norway has the highest GDP per capita at about US$37,000 and achieves test scores similar to the Slovak Republic,
Hungary, and the U.S., with GDPs of about US$11,000, US$13,000, and US$35,000.
5) Turkey has the lowest GDP per capita of the group at about $6,000 but achieves test scores 10% above Mexico with GDP
per capita at US$9,000.
6) This chart tells us nothing about how equivalent the tests are when given in varying languages, nor how consistently the
tests were given in the different locations.
