What I always enjoy is the "Standardized tests are bad, as this standardized test proves!" schtick.
Moving beyond that, though, this article (in German, use google translate if needed) seems to say that Finland's performance can be wholly accounted for by their focus on pulling up the weakest performers.

EDIT- google translate changes "unteren zehntausend" in the title to "pocketful of miracles", seemingly because there was a film with those titles in each language. I think the literal translation of "lower (or bottom) ten thousand" is more accurate in this case. Ah, machine learning.
