All students are asked the same number of questions, but the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier and then become progressively more challenging. This enables the assessment to precisely identify the full spectrum of a student’s strengths and weaknesses. MAP tests are aligned to the national Common Core Standards. To better measure some of the more complex Common Core Standards, students will experience responses in multiple choice, hot spot, dragand-drop and click-and-pop formats.  \nHow long does it take to complete an assessment?  \nAlthough the assessments are not timed, it usually takes students about one hour to complete each assessment. Students taking Primary MAP (first and second grade) usually take 20 to 30 minutes to complete each assessment.  \nHow are the assessment results used?  \nMAP assessments are used to measure student progress and growth in reading and math. These assessments will help teachers understand your child’s areas of strength and weakness and provide appropriate instruction.  \nWhen will I get the results of my child’s assessment?  \nIn the fall and winter, parents will receive the assessment results during parent-teacher conferences. A final report will be shared in the spring.  \nWhat is a RIT score?  \nRIT stands for Rasch Unit, which is used to measure a student’s academic growth over the course of the student’s academic career in our district. The score is unrelated to the age or grade of the student, but reflects the level at which the student is currently performing.  \nWhere can I go to learn more about the MAP assessments?  \nIf you have any questions regarding MAP scores or how the test is administered, please call your child’s teacher, principal or Director of Learning, Dr. Sue Redell at (630) 893-3737.
