I'm going to assume it's just a fluke, unless somehow the test changed. His MAP-R has always been slightly worse then his MAP-M, though it's been above the 90th percentile since 5th grade.
OK, so my kid (the 7th grader) said he didn't get any questions on the meanings of words with Latin roots, which he said he usually used to get 2-3 of. (He said "Latin roots," but it may have included a broader range of "fancy words.") He said in general he felt like he didn't rush though he may have done the first few questions a bit too fast, and it is adaptive... So maybe they did change the test a bit or maybe it was a fluke.
