PISA maths, science and reading tests can be accessed online
Students, teachers and others have been invited to try the Programme for International Student Assessment online before the test is officially implemented in August.
Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology director Pornpun Waitayangkoon said the PISA online exams comprised mathematics, science and reading tests.
Test-takers will also have two options: do the whole test and have the three subjects randomly selected for you or choose which subject to do first.
The test – available at http://pisaitems.ipst.ac.th and http://learningspace.ipst.ac.th – can be done via a computer, a computer tablet or a smart-phone and is supported by all web browsers.
A PISA video tutorial is also available at http://onlinetesting.ipst.ac.th/tutorial.php.
The 2015 PISA will see the emphasis shift to online with a focus on the science assessment, so the official test will be carried out in August on 15-year-old students randomly selected nationwide.
