[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are much older. Their MAP scores never reflected their actual abilities. My 25th percentile kid is in advanced calculus in 11th grade having skipped a grade along the way. My other kids, not as bright, were also advanced in math with low MAP scores. I don’t get why you think grade inflation is the issue as opposed to the MAP itself. [/quote] OP here. I think it's highly unusual that a kid in the 25th percentile could be in advanced calculus in 11th grade without some kind of context or explanation. I.e. that they purposely bombed the MAP tests. But anyway, that's your experience with your children, so I won't invalidate that. However, the MAP scores matched the various observations I've observed that led me to conclude my daughter does in fact need a little bit of extra support to really be successful with math. So in my case, MAP was right and it was a valuable tool.[/quote]
