What is assessed in PIAAC?
• PIAAC is designed to assess adults over a broad range of abilitiesfrom simple reading to complex problem solving skills. All countries that participate in PIAAC will assess the domains of literacy and numeracy in both a paper-and-pencil mode and a computer-administered mode. In addition, countries may assess problem solving administered on a computer as well as components of reading (administered only in paper-and-pencil format). The U.S. will assess all four domains.
