[quote=Anonymous]That "seamless transition" is true across large populations. The studies on the NWEA site indicate there is higher variance on an individual basis (both higher and lower) when moving from one version to the other. This infidelity to [i]individual[/] academic progress is among the reasons MCPS allowed [i]either[/i] the spring of 4th grade MAP-M (3-5 version) [i]or[/i] the fall of 5th grade (6+ version) to qualify under the locally normed percentile paradigm for those taking the 6+ version. MAP is not the right testing tool, by itself, for placement purposes, as also is noted in studies on the NWEA site, but, rather, might be used to supplement decisions where a measure more directly related to ability (vs. achievement) is the principal tool.[/quote]
