Snow days impact on MAP tests

[Anonymous]

Looks like we're headed into school closings for Monday and Tuesday. We're supposed to do MAP testing on those days. What's the plan for taking the tests? IIRC a couple of years back there were snow days and they just didn't test that year ( not sure if it was cogat or map)

They'll be rescheduled for later dates. There's a long window of time to take the tests and the county can extend it if needed

Are you sure? The only MAP I’m missing is from the month covid lockdown in spring 2020

Is this what parents actually sit around worrying about?

It will be administered the first full day back. Where can we get practice tests?

Relax. There isn't anything to practice. It's an adaptive assessment to see where your kid is at currently. They take it 3 times each year.

Literally the only MAPs that ever matter are the one that is counted for the CES lottery and the one that is counted for the middle school criterion-based magnet lottery. The rest are informative but not determinative. Like these upcoming ones. Just bail and chill.

This round doesn't count for anything? Oh that's why I asked about it. I thought it was for the lottery

MS lottery uses the fall MAP. Not sure about CES but I'm sure others on here can weigh in.

The winter MAP, to my knowledge, doesn't "count" for anything.

For 5th grade, Map-M helps to determine their 6th grade class.

There are no practice tests. My son is on the spectrum with low processing speed and he had extra time thanks to his IEP. That's all.

I think there are some online sample questions. Could be useful for a SN kid or new kid who just wants to be familiar with the way the tests work. Do not know the URL so maybe Google.
