[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP here, but 99% of which third graders? Is this test given statewide? nationwide?[/quote]

It is geared towards apple-to-apples comparison...so I am guessing all 3rd graders in MCPS?[/quote]

The percentiles for rthe MAP scores given are against national norms.  I'd imagine that a 99% score might be less than 99% in MoCo because the county has many high performing kids.  [/quote]

I've seen a MCPS report which provides the median MAP-R scores through 8th grade. 
 I find this test very useful as a parent - it is easy to understand and it seems to measure something meaningful.  I just wish the schools used it more consistently - especially for the high scoring kids.  I suspect that if they score well enough to predict a good performance on the MSA they don't really do much with it.  
We always get the MAP-R score as well as the lexile score that goes with the MAP-R score.  Another thing I find interesting is that EVERY year, my child's Spring score is lower than his Fall score!  he does make year upon year progress but most of the progress seems to occur after the summer vacation - too funny!![/quote]
