MAP is a national test that MCPS chooses to administer, not an MCPS test |
+1. It's used in many states. Many times a year. It's a very reliable, nationally normed standardized test. |
STILL haven't received them |
Whereas MCAP is a new test the state of MD created and requires. It's too bad they won't just accept MAP and call it a day. |
Doesn't matter to me one way or the other since the metric is still unproven and meaningless. |
Got the results and whoa, my kid who usually gets between 94-99 in Map M is a developing math learner. I guess MCPS should get their standards better aligned with the state. |
or the state should better align their test with actual proven standards |
Current 8th grader? Received ours yesterday. Similar kid scored a 3, which is proficient. DC was mad they didn’t get a 4, but only 1% of kids in the state did for math. 1%! And the chart makes it look like it should be 25% (I know, it doesn’t actually, but the way it’s divided….) The letters were dated October, too. Why are we just now receiving? |
I haven't gotten the latest results, but DC had a solid 4 in math last year. On their MAP, they typically score about 25 points above the 99% in the 300s. |
Just got ours too, 8th grade, as previously, scored 4 on both M and ELA and their breakdowns were solid too. Now, waiting for my 5th graders ( from 4 th grade)- wait do they take one in 4th grade? |
We got ours yesterday for current 8th grader, too. Missed the Proficient/3 zone for Algebra by 1 point - thank goodness the state decided to extend the "just take it" for another year. |
Still nothing for my current 6th grader. |
Received my current 6th graders today |
How are you using "typically"? It sounds like you are describing their performance around the time of MCAP last year (spring 7th), but for Fall of 8th, 270 is 99.1%ile, so 25pts above is 295. |
I'm using it as DC scored 250s at age 8, 285+ @10, and 300+ @13. They scored a solid 4 on the MCAP. |
