What level student should take this test?
The MAP mathematics test in MAP Growth 6+ is designed for sixth through twelfth grade students.
What is a computer adaptive test?
A computer-adaptive test is a method for administering tests that adapt to a student’s performance level. The difficulty of the test tailors itself to the student’s performance. The first question in the test is based on the student’s current performance estimate (either their grade level or a previous MAP test score.) When a student responds correctly, they receive a more difficult question. Similarly, incorrect responses are followed by easier questions. After only a few questions, the test difficulty is close to a student’s true performance level, and a reasonable estimate can be reported in the form of a RIT score.

How long will it take to receive results?
Clients who test on Monday and Tuesday receive their score reports on Friday of that week.
What is included in the score report for the sixth grade math test?
Percentile rankings and ‘typical of,’ comparing the student’s performance to the norm groups (e.g., first grade, winter), showing how the student compares to their peers, and for what grade/season their performance is typical. Percentile rankings are not available beyond the spring of eleventh grade.
RIT scores for the MAP mathematics test overall and for the subtopics. Used to track growth over time. Access free aligned lessons at KhanAcademy.org.
Learning statements, typically 10–15 pages of specific skills the student is ready to learn.
