The Average International Percentile for the questions used on this sample test was 44 %

NOTE: Although questions used in this sample test are original questions from the Third International Math and Science Survey, they are only to be used as an approximate gauge in student performance. There is no replacement for the actual test, which contained numerous free response questions and was given under strict testing conditions. We hope you visit the TIMSS testing center to view these excellent exams.
