| Abstract: |
The article reflects on the impact of international assessments, list of measures to boost average mathematics and science test scores, to students in the U.S. The author believes that there is nothing wrong if the government will do their best to improve the students' learning capability and test scores but erroneous interpretations of international test scores may drive economic and competitiveness policy in the wrong direction. |
