| Just found out on ParentVue that winter MAP score is out on Test History. Surprisingly DC tested lower than the fall score. Anyone else seeing the same issue? |

| My 6th grader tested 9 points higher than the fall - which I think is on the upper end of what is expected for the MAP. |

| My 4th grader tested 3 pts higher than fall. He has been going to Mathnasium and making decent progress there so I expected a bit more. |

| MAP testing isn’t everything. Don’t overthink the results. |

My concern is the AAP selection. Is this winter score going to be included in the packet? |

| My kid just took the MAP yesterday, so I don’t see an official score. Based on what he said though, it went up 11 points (6th grader). |

Whether it is or isn’t, there’s nothing you can do about it, so no sense in worrying. Was the fall score extremely high to begin with? If he made a few lucky guesses to get there, maybe he didn’t make the same correct guesses this time. The test is designed to push to the end of their ability level, supposedly. |

We have until the end of the semester to give the test. Teachers are fitting it in to logical places in the sequencing. |

It’s a single data point. It’s possible that a few things happening. I feel like my students work super hard on the fall tests, but on the winter tests they’ve gotten comfortable and slack off a bit. They’re also just sick of tests, understandably.
The MAP expected growth midyear is like 3 or 4 points. The standard error of measurement is plus or minus 3 to 3.5 points. So a lot of kids look like no or minimal growth who are just fine. Look at unit test performance, etc. A couple of my students who have shown AMAZING growth in class came in at almost identical MAP scores compared to fall. I’m not worried. |

It was in the 99 percentile range but wasn’t super high… I’m wondering the winter score percentile. Don’t have that information now. |

Thanks for the information. MAP is new to me. I know for I-ready the score is expected to grow a lot from fall to winter to spring. Looks like it’s not the case for MAP |

| It’s one data point that was taken in one hour. Please do not place a lot of importance on the MAP test as a measure of achievement. It’s a screener to catch students that might be struggling. That’s it. It’s not the SOL (test of standards) or NGAT (test of ability). |

| I thought MAP I snow used to determine Algebra 1 HS eligibility for the 7th AAP. Anyone knows whether this is true? |
