How Did the U.S. Perform on the International PISA test?

In this article you'll see all the countries and scores for 15 year-olds who took the PISA test (Program for International Student Assessment) in reading and math.  The US improved slightly in the problem solving part of the text, but as you can see we have a long way to go.  Follow the link to see sample questions.  New in the exam are interactive questions using a computer.  Not everything was paper/pencil.  Interesting and some surprising analyzes.

US students rank better internationally on new problem solving test than they do on conventional math and reading exams.  Jill Barshay. 4.1.14.  Hechinger Report - Education by the Numbers.
