    *
      Finland, with an average of 563 score points, was the
      highest-performing country on the PISA 2006 science scale.
    *
      Six other high-scoring countries had mean scores of 530 to 542
      points: Canada, Japan and New Zealand and the partner
      countries/economies Hong Kong-China, Chinese Taipei and Estonia.
      Australia, the Netherlands, Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom,
      the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Ireland, and
      the partner countries/economies Liechtenstein, Slovenia and
      Macao-China also scored above the OECD average of 500 score points.
    *
      On average across OECD countries, 1.3% of 15-year-olds reached
      Level 6 of the PISA 2006 science scale, the highest proficiency
      level. These students could consistently identify, explain and
      apply scientific knowledge, and knowledge about science, in a
      variety of complex life situations. In New Zealand and Finland
      this figure was at least 3.9%, three times the OECD average. In
      the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and Canada, as well as the
      partner countries/economies Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Hong
      Kong-China, between 2 and 3% reached Level 6.
