Does MAP-M go up to 350?

Anonymous
My 8th grade TPMS magnet kid says that a bunch of kids in the magnet got scores in the low 300s. These are kids that apparently prepped for the test for about a month (!). I thought that 300 was the top score. Does it go really go above 300?

The valid range is 100-350.

What’s the use of such high score

My son is one of them. There's a "300 club" at TPMS, and all of them are in math varsity team. They don't prep for MAP-M test at all, but take the test seriously. There are also other kids in other MSs scored in lower 300s.

DC first broke 300s on one of the subtests when they were 11 @TPMS, and although they were on the math team they weren't in the magnet lottery.

Purely bragging rights since it serves no other purpose.

Let me guess. Your kid does lacrosse?

Good for these kids for striving for math goals.

Very cool!

And shame on the people on here who don't value striving in academics.

Yes, but a score of 270 is above the 99% for grade 12 to put things in perspective.

One thing to get a good score, another to imply that you kid belongs to some special clique. Equally laughable if someone calls his/her sporty kid as a member of “starter circle” or “40 points gang”. Very tacky! I bet the teachers didn’t name it.

There’s a different between striving and insufferable bragging.
