[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that at every school every year there are kids that get in that are not among the "very best performers in class." MAP testing is helpful but it's achievement oriented so some kids that are off the charts in cognitive testing may not look so great on MAP tests. The HGCs use a cognitive reasoning test as the main criteria. Grades, teacher recs also count but in our experience less so. It's different for MS and HS magnets where these other achievement criteria will really be the main thing they are looking for.[/quote] Can you help me understand why MAP testing is achievement oriented as opposed to cognitive oriented? I am thinking specifically of MAP-Reading.[/quote]
