[quote=Anonymous]OP, understand that the MAP tests are not aptitude tests. They are taken three times a year to measure growth in a particular subject. Yes, a higher score is better than a lower one, but a single score typically only reflects exposure to material. Tracking them over the course of a school year, or several school years can indicate the ability to apply new concepts or show a plateau where new ideas are not being applied. That's what the test was designed for. The CogAT test is based on applied reasoning/critical thinking and is the primary focus for the magnet selection. The MAP scores may be looked at in a decision making process for waitlisted kids with similar CogAT scores, but if it comes to that it's likely they are looking at the growth over many test instead of a single high score.[/quote]
