[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what you're looking for but this is how MAP scores are reported out:

https://mkpcpta.webs.com/MAP-Scores-FAQ.pdf

Here's how other schools use the MAP exam results:

MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) is not like the CogAT test.  CogAT is race-neutral, Nationally administered, and more of a type of intelligence test.  All MAP does is say whether or not your kid knows material at grade level or not.  CogAT can qualify your kid for Mensa admission, but MAP cannot.  In theory if you score high on the MAP, you should skip a grade, for example.  But if you score high on CogAT, it means that standard school material might not be appropriate for the child that is able to see patterns and make analogies that other kids can't connect the dots to.

Thank you.. the 2nd link in your post was very valuable. Would you be able to tell if MCPS is using those benchmarks for acceleration? I assume this is not used by MCPS for acceleration because many students who score much higher than the benchmarks in 2nd link does not receive any acceleration. Given that MCPS no longer administer CogAT test (to achieve their equity goals), only way parents can measure the progress is MAP at this point unfortunately.
