This article aims to analyze the questions in the three editions of the Paraná Test administered in the 2023 school year. To this end, the tests for which files were available electronically were reviewed, except for the 2nd edition of the 8th grade test. The questions were categorized according to their level of cognitive demand (reproduction, connection or reflection), their type of context (real, realistic, purely mathematical or fictitious) and their order of context (bare problem, zero order, first order, second order or third order). We observed a predominance of questions with low cognitive demand, a lack of reflection questions, limitations in the types of context, a predominance of first-order questions and flaws in using the test as a diagnostic approach.
