MAP is a test designed to measure what students are prepared to learn. MAP is a very good tool for measuring student growth over time, and measures similar content areas to the STAAR. It is important to keep in mind MAP is intended to be short, and optimally challenging. This means students may encounter questions above (sometimes far above) grade level.
