Excelling at a science test for 15 year-olds is meaningless. When women equal or surpass men in terms of the number of papers published in top journals, then we'll have a story.

If it seems, though, that girls aren't always trailing boys in science in other countries, then what can be done to level the field in the United States? I don't think the OP's point was to show that females are just better than men at science, in which case, yes, a count of published papers by gender would be one metric.
