  PISA sample tasks
-------------------

 The original PISA tasks may not be published, as some of them will be used again in future PISA cycles.

The tasks displayed here are not tasks from the main study. However, they are very similar to the test tasks and therefore provide insight into the PISA tasks.

Some of the computer-based tasks can be completed in all PISA languages on the OECD website.
