The NWEA MAP Test
The NWEA MAP Test is an adaptive achievement test that allows educators and parents to measure student performance and growth. The test creates a personalized assessment experience by adapting to student responses. The NWEA MAP test is offered in more than 7,400 schools nationwide. Unlike many tests, the NWEA MAP test provides each student with a unique set of questions based on their responses to previous questions. If a student answers a question correctly, the questions become more challenging. If a student answers a questions incorrectly, questions become easier. Thus, the test can determine what level a child is at, regardless of their age or grade level in school. For example, if a child is in third grade but is reading at a fifth grade level, MAP can tell us that. The NWEA MAP test provides a RIT score. This score represents student achievement. We require that students take the NWEA MAP test each year so that class placement can be re-evaluated. We want to ensure that your child is always in a class that is appropriately challenging. In addition, this allows you to track your student's growth. |
STAR
The STAR test is an adaptive achievement test, similar to the NWEA MAP test. The STAR test originally only included a reading assessment. However, it has since expanded to include early literacy and mathematics. Reading assessments can be administered to all students in grades K-12. However, the math assessment is only available for grades K - 8. Each section takes about ten minutes to complete, somewhat shorter than the MAP Survey tests. STAR does not offer more in-depth testing. The STAR reading assessment pairs with the Accelerated Reader program, a goal driven reading program that requires students to read within their AR level and answer questions on each book to gain points before advancing to more difficult texts. Test reports provide a grade equivalent, nationally normed percentile, and curve equivalents. |
