Key Insights
- •Top-performing systems in PISA 2022 mathematics include Singapore (575) and several East Asian systems (e.g., Japan 536; Korea 527; Hong Kong (China) 540).
- •Many countries cluster in the 400–500 range, reflecting substantial cross-country variation in learning outcomes.
- •Several lower-income systems report average math scores in the mid-300s, highlighting large global learning gaps among participating systems.
- •Because PISA targets 15-year-olds in school, countries with lower secondary completion/attendance can have results that reflect a more selected student population.

About This Statistic
PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) measures how well 15-year-old students can apply mathematics, reading, and science knowledge to real-world problems. The PISA 2022 cycle (main domain: mathematics) provides internationally comparable average math scores for participating countries and economies.
This statistic reports each country/economy’s mean mathematics score on the PISA scale (OECD PISA scale with an historical mean around 500 and SD around 100 in early cycles). Scores should be interpreted alongside coverage, sampling, and participation notes—PISA is designed for system-level comparison, not individual ranking—and some participants’ results may be subject to adjudication notes in official tables.
