Abstract

This study focuses on defining the relationship between the wording of the question, it coincides to some extent with the wording of the stimulus text, and the successful outcome of the reading literacy test of the international scale. Therefore, 8 of the 17 available English sample texts of the PISA framework and a total of 35 tasks are analyzed. Comparing the word lists of the stimulus texts and tasks their “closeness” is arrived at. The correlation between the percentage of words in the task coinciding with the words of the stimulus text and the percentage of successful answers is found out. It is shown that there is a statistically relevant correlation for at least two of the reading processes tested.
