Question regarding MAP score issue

[Anonymous]

Is it possible that the MAP scores on the parent report are wrong? My DC told me the score when they took the test but the report has a different score on it. Is it possible something with the MAP reports got messed up ? My DC has always reported the right score to me after taking MAP tests and they always matched the reports that come out later so this is just weird that the score he received on the test is not what’s on the report.

Contact the teacher to ask this.

I've been giving MAP tests for almost twenty years. I always walked around with a clipboard and record my students' scores even though we can print a report after the fact. In that time there has never been a discrepancy between what I recorded and the reports. Maybe your child was just mistaken?

Maybe but that has never happened before. He was right about his MAP- R but his MAP-M is not what he said he got. Its much lower.

OP, what they see at the end of the test is the main score and some sub scores. Is it possible he remembered the highest of the sub scores not the overall score?

I think he knows there are sub scores too, as he told me what his sub score was in vocab and stuff in reading. It is possible but seems unlikely to me as the score on the report for fall is lower than the score at the end of school in spring. But it is possible he looked at a sub score. What i am trying to understand is the way map testing works could there be any possibility of his scores getting mixed up with another student or something?

How do I know my kid’s MAP score? Haven’t been given anything by the school or the teacher.

We once got a report from school where they accidentally put the MAP-R score as the MAP-M score. But that was not the official MAP score report, it was just something the teacher put together for conferences or something.

If it is a computer-generated score sheet from the NWEA website, then I can't see how it could have possibly gotten mixed up. However if it was teacher or school created then the wrong score could have been put in by the teacher.

It should be posted in Parentvue under documents.

The score is usually lower in the fall than in the spring for math for my DC - there is a real summer slide. That’s why we did a math class this summer and it finally went up. But usually it is a few points lower.

For us it is under documents in ParentVue.

Scores also typically drop in 3rd grade and 6th grade, as that's when they switch to new versions of the test (they start with MAP K-2, then MAP 2-5 in 3rd-5th grade, then MAP6+ from 6th grade onward).

DD’s percentile went up pretty significantly, when compared nationally. Her scores dipped last year (expected). Is this because other students are doing poorly or can we feel relieved that she is back up to speed?

I think it's unlikely to be wrong.
