Data Files

The complete TIMSS dataset from each round of testing is available on the international TIMSS web site. In each round of TIMSS, the United States collects information that is not part of the international assessment, such as the race/ethnicity of students and information on participation in the federal free and reduced-price lunch program. These additional variables are available through NCES. The latest dataset, from 2003, is available below. To obtain the 1995 or 1999 U.S. datasets, visit Publications and Products.
