The 2020-2021 school year was the first year that we gave these tests to our students. Many maybe wanting to know more about these tests so below are some frequently asked questions and answers about them.  \nWhat is MAP Growth and what does it measure?  \nUnlike paper and pencil tests, where all students are asked the same questions and spend a fixed amount of time taking the test, MAP Growth is a computer adaptive test. That means every student gets a unique set of test questions based on responses to previous questions. As the student answers correctly, questions get harder. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions get easier. By the end of the test, most students will have answered about half the questions correctly, as is common on adaptive tests. The purpose of MAP Growth is to determine what the student knows and is ready to learn next.  \nMAP Growth can also track students’ individual growth over time, wherever they are starting from and regardless of the grade they are in. For instance, if a third grader is actually reading like a fifth grader, MAP Growth will be able to identify that. Or, if a fifth grader is doing math like a third grader, MAP Growth will identify that, too. Both things are incredibly important for a teacher to know so that they can plan instruction efficiently.  \nWhat is a RIT score?  \nWhen students finish their MAP Growth test, they receive a number called a RIT (short for Rasch UnIT) score for each area they are tested in: reading, language usage, math, or science. This score represents a student’s achievement level at any given moment and helps measure their academic growth over time. The RIT scale is a stable scale, like feet and inches, that accurately measures student performance, regardless of age, grades, or grade level. Like marking height on a growth chart and being able to see how tall a child is at various points in time, you can also see how much they have grown between tests.  \nHow often will my child take MAP Growth?  \nMost schools give MAP Growth tests to students at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year.  \nHow long is MAP Growth?  \nMost students take less than an hour to complete a MAP Growth test. However, MAP Growth is not timed, and students may take as much time as they need to complete it.","cbCaijzDvrowdaKY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijzDvrowdaKY","pdf",117251,"English","# MAP Testing Basics\n## What Is MAP Growth and What Does It Measure?\n## What Is a RIT Score?\n## How Often Will My Child Take MAP Growth?\n## How Long Is MAP Growth?","[{\"question\":\"What is MAP Growth and what does it measure?\",\"answer\":\"MAP Growth is a computer adaptive test where each student receives a unique set of questions based on previous answers.
