Is MAP M & MAP R test untimed?

I think we had at least four or five students with higher MAP scores than those that were accepted into the local program.

I’m more concerned that—at our school—the hooked students got CES invitations (less than a handful got invited from our school). If those very few students also get MS magnet invitations, then they are certainly hooked.

This is a publicly funded school system. Since they say it is a lottery, every student who meets the criteria should have an equal probability of getting an invitation.

Are you suggesting it’s not an actual lottery then? What on earth do you mean by “hooked”?

Tell him he can't get them all correct. The questions get more difficult until he gets it wrong.

My DD had to finish another day with the MAP R. She scored in the 97th percentile. I had told her to take her time and she did. It's the MCAP that is timed.
