Sure Pisa's questionaries for achievements in mathematics have been analysed by many of ResearchGate members. I'd be interested in texts containing comparisons between different countries and analysing the reasons of the observed differences. What differences did you notice and what are in your opinion the raisons of those differences?
Hello,
One of the specialists of the Pisa studies is Prof. Jaime Carvalho e Silva (http://www.mat.uc.pt/faculty/jaimecs.html) and I'm sure that he could indicate important papers about this topic.

Dear Guy,
I wrote a paper related to Pisa.
In the paper
THE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS
2011, Vol. XIII, 1, pp. 15–29
A PROBLEM FROM THE PISA ASSESSMENT
RELEVANT TO CALCULUS by
Miodrag Mateljevic, Aleksandra Rosic and Marek Svetlik,
which is continuation of our previous papers (see M. Mateljevic, M. Svetlik, A contribution to the development of functional thinking related
to convexity, The Teaching of Mathematics, XIII, 1 (2010), 1–16.), we discuss one of
the PISA problems where students are assumed to understand the given functional
dependence as well as to select the intervals of convexity and concavity of the
drawn graph. In particular, we give a geometric lively characterization of convexity.
What are applications of convex sets and the notion of convexity in mathematics and science? - ResearchGate. Available from: https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_are_applications_of_convex_sets_and_the_notion_of_convexity_in_mathematics_and_science/7 [accessed Sep 18, 2015].
