The aim of the research according to the PISA program is to identify whether 15-year-old pupils who received general compulsory education possess the knowledge and skills that they need to have for sterling living in society. The purpose of the study that is being carried out by the project TIMSS is a comparative assessment of general education of pupils in grades 4 and 8 as to mathematics and natural sciences in the countries with different educational systems and to identify the factors that affect the level of such training. The forms of assessment in these two studies are presented by tests and questionnaires. In tests there are open (with the option of correct answer) and closed tasks (with short or long answer) available.In a PISA research program the tests evaluate the three types of pupils’ competences (literacy): competence of reading, mathematical competence, naturalistic competence. The tests refer to the real situations in which the pupils’ knowledge is being evaluated as well as understanding of basic concepts and ability to apply their knowledge and skills in the similar, modified and new situations. In a TIMSS research project the tests are the tools for checking of academic achievement of pupils in mathematics and science. The tests evaluate the student’s knowledge and understanding of basic concepts as well as the laws and principles and ability to apply the knowledge in a standard and unfamiliar situation. So, in the tests of international research PISA program and TIMSS project the questions that evaluate the pupils’ understanding of basic concepts, possession of basic studying methods, the ability to apply their new knowledge and skills with a practical purpose, to explain the phenomena of daily life and conducting of the study or processing of the obtained data are used.Such tasks, according to the Ukrainian teachers’ opinions are the most difficult for pupils and therefore they should be widely used in secondary schools.
