Sumario:PISA results have a key role to offer an opportunity to analyse the level of the national success in a variety of ways such as identifying strengths and weaknesses in our educational sysytem. In this context, this paper analyses the Turkish student performance in maths proficiency PISA 2012 comparing with that of the most successful five countries (China, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Liechtenstein) and the last five (Jordan, Colombia, Qatar, Indonesia, Peru) countries in human resources (teacher salary), student-teacher ratio, learning time after school, social activities using PISA data. Data of Turkey and relevant countries were arranged and presented comperatively with tables which used means, frequency and percentage. As a result of the study, evaluated as a whole in the scope of variables discussed, it can be said that first of all Turkey should increase its mathematics performances. Therefore students can have complex problem-solving skills and highly skilled managerial, professional, and technical occupations. According to results of the study, Turkey is left behind the most successful five countries, the last five countries and the OECD mean in the scope of the most of these variables. To icrease its mathematics performances, policy makers in Turkey should make an urgent improvement attempts about discussed variables which directly effect the mathematics performances.
