The article analyzes the scientific preparation of Brazilian students participating in PISA, taking into account the age-grade distortion. An exploratory analysis of the results and a linear regression were carried out to investigate the effect of the grade repetition variable on Brazilian students’ performance in Science. The study shows that: Brazilian students are at a disadvantage compared to students from Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries; the majority of Brazilian students are not able to perform the simplest tasks defined by PISA; the difference between Brazilian over-age students and OECD students reaches 150 points in some competencies; only Brazilian students in the final grades of secondary education reach the levels expected by PISA.

Keywords : PISA; BRAZIL; SCIENTIFIC LITERACY; AGE-GRADE DISTORTION.
