[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think MAP tests are that accurate either. There is a lot of random drop in scores and then the students are placed in a lower reading group. My kid scored 97th in 3rd grade but somehow messed up in the fall of 4th went down to 85th. I don’t think it indicates that his comprehension ability deteriorated. To me it seems he probably rushed on the test or something. But the school uses his score to place him in the lower reading group. How is that an accurate assessment of his abilities?[/quote] I agree with this completely. My kids can go from 98th to 80th then back up then down. It all depends on how focused they are that day. Also, I believe some kids are excellent standardized tests takers and others are not. Placement should also be based on performance on class assignments and tests over a course of many months. To me, that’s more accurate. [/quote]
