[quote=Anonymous]The MAP questions are similar to Khan Academy but harder. In general they test the concept but don’t go deep into details.

An example of an algebra question around a score of 220: a plane drops an object at constant speed from 3850 m to the ground in 5 hours. What is the height of the object after 3.5 hours?

The test is aiming to find the level where the student answers correctly 50% of the questions so there will be many questions that are either hard or beyond the knowledge of the student, for some this can be unnerving.

The report people mentioned in the thread is called Learning Continuum and lists concepts that are known at 75, 50, and 25%. It’s about 7 pages long and lists the topics by category, might be good for targeted practice, but it would depend on the teacher to implement it.

Sometimes people mention very high MAP scores in early grades, eg much higher than 250 in 5th grade. Without knowing what was tested, it’s hard to be sure of the equivalence across grades, which is why the Learning Continuum report is useful. [/quote]
