Mine scored 250+. I know they will recommend him for AMP7+ for MS but not seeing the point in doing calculus in 11th is. He’s more a humanities type.

Yes. As of last year, 5/6 kids take the 6+ test. Those who are in grade 5 do not.


Sorry to clarify - those who are in regular grade 5 math do not take that test.

My kid's went down by more than 30 points. But he was at the very upper end of the 2-5 test and maybe had a bad day. Did better in the next MAP test taken.

That is a great score especially for a 5th grader taking the MAP-M for 6th. It used to be a score that high meant you were placed in Algebra in 6th at many of the wealthier schools.

When DC took it I think their score went from 275 to 265. A 10-15 point drop is expected for kids on the high-end.
