Examples of PISA test questions 
PISA contains a mixture of questions, and most students will have to answer some 
science, reading and mathematics questions. The combination of questions will 
depend on which test booklet you are randomly assigned – PISA has 13 different test 
booklets.
Not only are the topics varied, so are the types of questions. Sometimes, 
you’ll be asked to tick a box, or circle one answer from a choice of four, while 
sometimes you’ll be asked to write a short answer. On the next pages are examples 
of reading, science and mathematics questions (in that order).

FEEL GOOD IN YOUR RUNNERS 
For 14 years the Sports Medicine Centre of Lyon (France) has been studying the injuries of 
young sports players and sports professionals. The study has established that the best 
course is prevention … and good shoes. 
Knocks, falls, wear 
and tear... 
Eighteen per cent of 
sports players aged 8 to 
12 already have heel 
injuries. The cartilage of 
a footballer's ankle does 
not respond well to 
shocks, and 25% of 
professionals have 
discovered for 
themselves that it is an 
especially weak point. 
The cartilage of the 
delicate knee joint can 
also be irreparably 
damaged and if care is 
not taken right from 
childhood (10–12 years 
of age), this can cause 
premature osteoarthritis.
The hip does not escape 
damage either and, 
particularly when tired, 
players run the risk of 
fractures as a result of 
falls or collisions. 
According to the study, 
footballers who have 
been playing for more 
than ten years have bony 
outgrowths either on the 
tibia or on the heel. This 
is what is known as 
‘footballer’s foot’, a 
deformity caused by 
shoes with soles and 
ankle parts that are too 
flexible. 
Protect, support, stabilise, 
absorb 
If a shoe is too rigid, it 
restricts movement. If it 
is too flexible, it increases 
the risk of injuries and 
sprains. A good sports 
shoe should meet four 
criteria: 
Firstly, it must 
provide 
exterior protection

resisting knocks from the 
ball or another player
coping with unevenness 
in the ground, and 
keeping the foot warm 
and dry even when it is 
freezing cold and raining. 
It must 
support the 
foot
, and in particular the 
ankle joint, to avoid 
sprains, swelling and 
other problems, which 
may even affect the knee.
It must also provide 
players with good 
stability
so that they do not slip 
on a wet ground or skid 
on a surface that is too 
dry. 
Finally, it must 
absorb
shocks
, especially those 
suffered by volleyball and 
basketball players who 
are constantly jumping. 
Dry feet 
To avoid minor 
but painful conditions 
such as blisters or even 
splits or athlete’s foot 
(fungal infections), the 
shoe must allow 
evaporation of 
perspiration and must 
prevent outside 
dampness from getting in.
The ideal material for this 
is leather, which can be 
water-proofed to prevent 
the shoe from etting 
soaked the first time it 
rains.
