What is the NWEA MAP Test?

The NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Test is a widely used, computer-adaptive assessment designed to measure student growth and proficiency in subjects such as Math, Reading, and Language. Unlike traditional standardized tests, the MAP Test adapts to each student’s ability level, providing a personalized and precise measure of academic progress.

How the NWEA MAP Test is Scored.

The MAP Test uses a RIT (Rasch Unit) score, which measures a student’s academic ability based on their performance. This scoring system is unique because:

It does not have a pass/fail outcome.
It is a scaled score, meaning a student’s performance is independent of their grade level.
Higher RIT scores indicate higher achievement.
Growth over time is the key indicator of student progress rather than a single score.

Each test session results in an updated RIT score, which allows educators to track progress and identify areas where students may need additional support.

When is the MAP Test Administered?

The NWEA MAP Test is typically administered three times per school year:

Fall (Beginning of the Year): Establishes a baseline score.
Winter (Mid-Year): Tracks progress and measures academic growth.
Spring (End of the Year): Evaluates overall progress and prepares for the next academic level.

Some schools may also choose to administer the MAP Test in the summer for additional insights into student learning.

What is Considered a Good MAP Score?

A “good” MAP score varies depending on grade level and subject area. However, here are some general guidelines:

Above 75th Percentile: Considered an excellent score (top-performing students).
50th-75th Percentile: Considered above average.
40th-50th Percentile: Considered average.
Below 40th Percentile: Indicates areas where additional support may be needed.

Growth is just as important as the score itself. If a student shows consistent improvement over time, they are on the right track, even if their score is not among the highest.
