[quote=Anonymous]It was always three times a year, at least from when my now-HS kid was in ES. In later grades, I think one of the administrations is sometimes optional, but in ES they always gave it three times a year. As the PPs said, this is one standardized test that is actually helpful for making adjustments to individual instruction in the classroom. And if there's a huge discrepancy between what the teacher is seeing in the classroom and what a child scores on the tests, that's a sign that adults may need to take a closer look and see what's going on. For instance, kids with ADHD may compensate in the classroom but have trouble with long standardized tests, or kids who struggle with some element of the classroom environment might surprise with stronger MAP scores than their classroom grades would seem to predict.[/quote]
