CALL FOR TEST ADMINISTRATORS

PROGRAMME FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENT (PISA) 2025
Field Test Administration

Pay rate: $250 per day
Search area: all Canadian provinces

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international assessment of the skills and knowledge of 15-year-olds. The assessment is overseen by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and involves the participation of 91 countries/economies worldwide. PISA 2025 is the ninth assessment conducted since 2000, and it will be entirely computer-based.

PISA covers three core domains—reading, science, and mathematics, as well as an additional innovative domain, learning in the digital world. Although each assessment cycle covers all three core domains, the major domain alternates with each assessment; in 2025, the major domain will be science.

In Canada, the PISA 2025 field test will be administered from April 22 to May 31, 2024, in about 115 schools across the country. Approximately 5,800 15-year-old students chosen at random from these schools will participate in the assessment.
