Student Testing Time
As summarized in Exhibit 4.6, each student completes one student achievement booklet or block combination consisting of two parts, followed by a student questionnaire. The individual student response burden for the TIMSS 2019 assessment is the same as it has been since TIMSS 2007—that is, 72 minutes for the assessment and 30 minutes for the questionnaire at the fourth grade, and 90 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, at the eighth grade.
