It's strange to let 2nd graders take MAP-M instead of MAP-P. But if they indeed took MAP-M, then yes, pre-algebra and easy algebra problems are included in the bank (2nd - 6th content).

My elder DC used to take algebra in 5th grade, and his MAP-M test was switched to 7th-12th content.

It switches between 2nd and 3rd grade and between 5th and 6th grade. (I think some 5th graders in compacted math take the 6th grade version for math part of the year?)

Does this mean the student A challenges same as B, and student B performs same as A.



"it is adaptive tests, "
yes

"all elementary students take the same test but personalized based on their answer."

Every single test question is separately personalized for each student based on previous answers.

Student A and Student B are performing at the same level.

Yes, the score reflects what they know across all grades.

The test starts in third grade. There are different versions of the test at different points. For instance the 5th grade compacted math students take the 6th grade math test. There is a test for a Math (MAP-M)and a test for Reading(MAP-R)

I'm sure but i believe they take the same test except compact math students.
