Program for International Student Assessment 2025 (PISA 2025)
Appendix C2-b
PISA 2025 Questionnaire – Student ICT
U.S. Adaptations
OMB# 1850-0755 v.31
This package provides the U.S. versions of the full-scale questionnaires for the 2025 main study. The changes comprise questions that will be deleted based on review and discussion within NCES and feedback from other stakeholders.
PISA includes both student and school questionnaires. In addition, there are two sets of student questionnaires—core and survey questions related to Information Communication Technology (ICT). Due to the size of these files, the submission is broken into three separate files—Student Core (C-2a), Student ICT (C-2b), and School Questionnaire (C-2c).
