| Commentary: More than 90 percent of year 8 students could answer a range of questions requiring them to interpret a table in a brochure. Only about 50 percent of students could provide complete justifications for an answer. There is very little change between 1999 and 2003 in students’ performace overall, although in 2003, students used a wider range of alternatives for selecting vehicles to transport a large number of people.(Q4). |
