I don't get the comparison between the U.S. and other countries. The U.S. educates 100% of the population to the fullest of our capabilities -- including "special needs" students. We also test whoever wants to be tested -- not just those who are going to college -- but all those who will pay the bucks to take the test. When other countries make the high claims they do, they only inlcude data from those they educate and are college bound, which does not include high needs students. Again, you are comparing apples and oranges.
