Answer coding

The subjects answered a set of assessment items seeking to determine their knowledge of mathematics. The original PISA 2012 data set included variables that had problems with the following labels:

  • One level:

    • "N/A"

  • Four Levels:

    • "Score 0"

    • "Score 1"

    • "Score 7: N/A"

    • "Score 8: Not Attempted"

  • Five Levels:

    • "Score 0"

    • "Score 1"

    • "Score 2"

    • "Score 7: N/A"

    • "Score 8: Not Attempted"

Note, this data set includes items with four levels only. Further, items are coded with Score 0 as 0, Score 1 as 1, Score 7: N/A as NA, and Score 8: Not Attempted as 0.
