Executive Summary

After every cycle of TIMSS, some of the test questions are released to the public while some are kept confidential to help measure trends from one cycle to the next.One booklet contains a selection of TIMSS 2006/07 test questions from the three mathematics content domains and the other has items from the three science content domains.
