Percentage of 15-year-old female students scoring higher than 607 but lower than or equal to 669 on the PISA mathematics scale. At Level 5, students can develop and work with models for complex situations, identifying constraints and specifying assumptions. They can select, compare, and evaluate appropriate problem-solving strategies for dealing with complex problems related to these models. Students at this level can work strategically using broad, well-developed thinking and reasoning skills, appropriate linked representations, symbolic and formal characterizations, and insight pertaining to these situations. They begin to reflect on their work and can formulate and communicate their interpretations and reasoning. Data reflects country performance in the stated year according to PISA reports, but may not be comparable across years or countries.
