PISA and TIMSS aligned questions are competency-based items that present a realistic context and then ask learners to reason within it, rather than recall a fact. Upload your material, choose the framework and cognitive domain, and get original items with answer keys and alignment tags.

Two different frameworks, two different demands. The generator treats them separately instead of collapsing both into a vague claim of international standards.
PISA measures how well 15-year-olds apply knowledge to unfamiliar, real-world situations rather than how much they can recall. Generated items follow that shape: a realistic context, then questions that demand reasoning within it.
TIMSS assesses mathematics and science against curriculum content domains and cognitive domains (knowing, applying, reasoning). Items can be targeted at a specific pairing of the two.
Both frameworks reward transfer. The generator is pushed toward items where the answer cannot be found by scanning the stimulus for a matching phrase.
Alignment is applied to the material you upload, so items stay on your syllabus while adopting the international item style.
Upload one PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT, JPG, or PNG file. JPG and PNG files are interpreted with AI vision. A scanned PDF with no text layer is detected automatically and processed from its page images.
Select PISA or TIMSS, then the content and cognitive domain you want the items to sit in.
A standard-selector agent fixes the target framework, a generator drafts the stimulus and items, and quality and language agents review before release.
Each item ships with its answer, an explanation and its framework tag, ready for a paper or an item bank.
It opens with a realistic stimulus — a chart, a short article, a scenario — and then asks questions that require the reader to interpret, reason about or evaluate that material. The distinguishing feature is that the answer is not stated in the stimulus; it has to be derived from it.
TIMSS is curriculum-based and organised by content domains and cognitive domains such as knowing, applying and reasoning, mainly in mathematics and science. PISA is competency-based and deliberately cross-curricular, focused on applying knowledge to unfamiliar real-world contexts.
No. These are original questions written to follow the published structure and cognitive demands of those frameworks. They are not retired official items and are not endorsed by the OECD or the IEA, who own the PISA and TIMSS programmes respectively.
Yes. PISA-style reading and cross-curricular items work across subjects. TIMSS alignment is most meaningful in mathematics and science, since that is what the TIMSS framework covers.
Yes. Framework alignment sets the item style and context demands, while the Bloom level sets the cognitive target. The two are configured independently and applied to the same generation run.
The first 5 questions are free with no card required, then pay-as-you-go per question with no monthly subscription.
