All school-age students participate in MAP testing. MAP, or the Measure of Academic Progress, is a computer-adaptive skills assessment that provides parents, teachers, and administrators with metrics to measure a student's growth and progress early in their academic life.

What Does Computer-Adaptive Mean?

The MAP test is adaptive, meaning that the computer allows the test questions to adapt to the individual skill levels of all students. If a student answers a question correctly, the questions will become more difficult; if a student answers a question incorrectly, the questions will become easier.

What Is on the Test?

The MAP test covers reading, language usage, and mathematics. While this computer-adaptive test is not timed, most students complete the test in less than an hour. If students complete their regularly assigned homework, they should be prepared for the test.
