1. Understanding the MAP Growth Assessment

1. 1. MAP is being administered remotely in the Fall of 2020. Your data will be connected to other learning programs (e.g., Exact Path, Study Island) in order to provide customized learning paths for you in reading and math.

   2. MAP is a computer adaptive assessment that is used to determine your instructional readiness level. This means as you answer questions correctly, questions get harder. If you answer them incorrectly, questions get easier. You are not expected to get all of the answers correct. Just do your best!

   3. This is a test, but it is also a tool for your teacher to know what you are ready to learn. It will not be graded.

   4. You should not use outside resources (Internet, books, friends, family) for help during the MAP unless you have technical issues. Then, contact Ms. Collins or Ms. Dermody. (Info Below)

   5. You will see a variety of questions (around 50) that are selected based on your score from the last time you took MAP (your RIT Score).

   6. The MAP test will take between 45-60 minutes. (for each test)

2) Planning for Remote MAP Testing
