[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCAP takes up so many instructional days. 2 days each for Math, English, Social Studies...for a worthless exam whose results come 6-12 months later that MCPS doesn't use for anything. All the decisions for CES, magnets etc. are made using the MAP test scores. MCAP is worthless.[/quote] Except now MCAP is supposed to be one of the four items (with CogAT, MAP-M & Curricular Assessments) used for determining Math acceleration, possibly the only one used for course advancement (grade skipping in a subject relying on scoring 4 on MCAP for the grade to be skipped), and the only measure on which the system's success in this field will be judged. How they are going to utilize it effectively for those with its timing and the months-long reporting lag is a mystery.[/quote]
