Pacing trajectories of student classes identified in USA sample Note: Pacing trajectories are depicted for the 28 RT variables for the 31 mathematics items in the eighth-grade TIMSS 2019 Booklet 1, Part 1. Transformed RT = log(RT + 1 s). SS is the average sum score. Sample size for the USA is 618. Of the 624 eighth-grade USA students who were administered Booklet 1, 6 students did not have valid RT data for any of the 32 items examined in the study. The median cumulative response times for the two steady groups (green and blue) overlap, making only one of them (blue) visible on the graph.
