Data Tables
The following data tables include the data used to produce this indicator:
Table 1: Distribution of PISA Science Literacy Scores for New Zealand (2006 and 2009)| Distribution | PISA 2006 | PISA 2009 |
|---|
| 5th percentile | 347 | 348 |
| 25th percentile | 455 | 461 |
| Lower confidence limit (95%) | 525 | 527 |
| Mean | 530 | 532 |
| Upper confidence limit (95%) | 536 | 537 |
| 75th percentile | 608 | 608 |
| 95th percentile | 699 | 697 |
Note:
- The scientific literacy domain has undergone considerable expansion and change since being a minor domain in PISA 2000 and PISA 2003, it is not therefore possible to compare science outcomes from PISA 2006 and PISA 2009 with these earlier PISA assessments.

For example, this includes and is not limited to people who consider themselves as Australian (excluding Australian Aborigines), British and Irish, American, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
