[quote=Anonymous]In general, a kid in an MCPS elementary school with low MAP scores but all As is most likely to not really know the content. It's often extremely easy to get As especially in elementary school, and MAP scores tend to be pretty reliable for most kids. If you have verified directly (not by grades but by talking with your child, watching them do homework, etc) that your child has fully mastered the content, though, and they are known to have test anxiety, then it sounds like in their case it is different. But that doesn't mean MAP is worthless. And if your oldest gets high MAP scores but poor grades, I would definitely take that as a major red flag to dig into what's going on with them in class-- you can't get MAP scores that high without strong content knowledge, so the low grades must be due to something else.[/quote]
