The latest global school tests reveal shocking new declines

正文：Every three years the OECD, a club of mostly rich countries, releases the results of international school tests sat by 15-year-olds all across the world. There were reasons to hope that the latest data, published on September 8th, would bring positive news. Marks in mathematics, reading and science had collapsed in the previous round of testing, which was carried out just after the pandemic. Policymakers dared hope that, with the calamity well in the past, grades might start to rebound.

知识点：sit /sɪt/ v.（sat 为过去式/过去分词）
英文释义：sit (v.) means to take an examination
本义为"坐、就座"，英式考试语境核心义为**"参加（考试）、应考"**（本文特指：tests sat by 15-year-olds 中 sat 为过去分词作后置定语，意为"由全球15岁学生参加的那些测试"；第3段the tests are sat in only four rich provinces 再次以被动形式出现）
核心搭配：sit an exam、sit a test、sit one's A-levels、sit for a qualification、be sat by candidates
・She is sitting her final accountancy exams in November.她将于十一月参加会计资格的结业考试。
・Thousands of candidates sat the entrance test under tightened security.数千名考生在加强安保的条件下参加了入学考试。
