PISA Sample Questions

FREE! BUT AT WHAT PRICE?
Imagine you are in a shop and you are offered a choice of two gift vouchers. Which one
would you go for? Try to decide quickly!
A £10 gift voucher for FREE!
A £20 gift voucher for £7
If your first instinct is the same as absolutely everyone in a study carried out by Shampan’er
and Ariely in 2006, you’ll take the first option, the free option. Economically, though, this
doesn’t make any sense. When you look at it you can see that the £20 gift voucher is
actually better value: you really get a £13 gift voucher for free. However, this is camouflaged
by the way the offers are worded. The word “free” just shakes all rationality out of us.
Now compare these two offers and decide which you’d prefer:
£10 gift voucher for £1
A £20 gift voucher for £8
Now if you’re like the majority of people (64%) in Shampan’er and Ariely’s study you’ll go for
the £20 gift voucher.
Notice that this time the price of each gift certificate has only been increased by £1. The £10
gift voucher has gone from £0 to £1 and the £20 gift voucher has gone from £7 to £8. Yet
without the word ‘free’, most people suddenly realize that the £20 deal is superior, and
decide to pay out for a better return.
So be aware of the seductive power that ‘free’ holds over your mind and you might decide
you’d rather pay the price
QUESTION
According to the text, what effect does the word “free” have on consumers’ ability to make
decisions?
It prevents them from making decisions.
B It slows down their decision-making.
C It makes their decisions more thoughtful.
D It makes their decisions less thoughtful

PRINT READING QUESTION (LEVEL 1)

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS:
(D) – IT MAKES THEIR DECISIONS LESS THOUGHTFUL.
QUESTION LEVEL

Students at Proficiency Level 1 are capable of locating pieces of explicitly stated information that
are rather prominent in the text, recognizing a main idea in a text about a familiar topic, and
recognizing the connection between information in such a text and their everyday experience.
Typically the required information in texts at this level is prominent and there is little, if any,
competing information. The reader is explicitly directed to consider relevant factors in the task
and in the text.

NATURE OF THE TASK

Draw inferences to identify the main idea in an exposition
The situation is personal. The question belongs to the exposition text type category because it is
the type of text in which the information is presented as composite concepts or mental
constructs, or those elements into which concepts or mental constructs can be analyzed.

READING ASPECT
The aspect is to integrate and interpret – form a broad understanding because the individual has
to focus on relationships within the whole text.

SCORING
Full credit: D. It makes their decisions less thoughtful.
No credit: Other or missing.
