							| Good Morning, 
 I am very interested to know how several countries choose
 i)  their schools to participate in PIRLS
 ii) how they prepare their students to take part in PIRLS
 
 I would be much obliged for your answers.
 
 best regards

							| I�m afraid
you can�t choose to be tested as they follow a random sample design.   Regarding
preparation, if you want to see samples of the test, you can check the last one(
2011)  There won�t be another assessment until 2016.  You can learn more at http://timssandpirls.bc.edu/ |  21 May 2013
