58 countries and 5 benchmarking entities participated in TIMSS 2023 at the fourth grade. Most countries’ scores fall within the range of 400 to 600 points.
The majority of fourth-grade countries had differences in average mathematics achievement favoring boys.
Across the fourth-grade countries, many students reached the Low International Benchmark of mathematics achievement and a substantial proportion reached the Intermediate Benchmark. Smaller percentages of students internationally reached the High and Advanced International Benchmarks.
44 countries and 3 benchmarking entities participated in TIMSS 2023 at the eighth grade. Most countries’ scores fall within the range of 400 to 600 points.
