[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been lots of threads about the confusing statements made about the MAP that scores can be compared across grades.  The fact is that the MAP-P, the MAP-M for 3-5, and the MAP-M for 6+ do not test the same content.

So 5th graders taking MAP-M are not seeing the same content as 6th graders taking the MAP-M and it is normal for scores to drop from 5th to 6th.  So it is important when people are comparing scores to be sure you are comparing 5th to 5th and 6th to 6th and not Spring 5th to Fall 6th.  (ie - don't compare the Fall 6th scores of magnet students to the Spring 5th scores of students not admitted)[/quote]

The tests have different content.  The MAP-M 2-5 does not test on concepts above a certain level, so even if your score on a chart equates to something higher, higher level concepts are not presented. The MAP 6+ will not adjust down below a certain level and includes questions/content on higher levels than MAP M 2-5 ( and much higher than MAP P).

NWEA says the RIT scores are still comparable, but that discrepancies occur, especially in the transition years. [/quote]
