Here's a summary of changes to the Web-based MAP system, effective fall 2014. See also:
Your district has the option to define which tests are appropriate for students, such as which grade level(s) may take a test. When this feature is set up, then tests that are inappropriate will be either hidden or blocked within the Manage Test sessions area of MAP. This reduces the risk of students taking the wrong test.
Note: By default, there are no restrictions placed on any tests.
For examples and instructions, see Restricting the Tests Students Can Take.
NWEA no longer supports the following:
Support is added for Internet Explorer version 11 for reporting/administration.
For a full list of requirements, see System and Bandwidth Requirements.

We have added the following report: View Reports and Instructional Resources > Operational Reports > Profiles With Shared IDs.
This report identifies the following:
Use this report to clean up your roster and ensure every profile has a unique ID. Unique IDs are required if your district uses the Match on ID policy. This policy is an option that NWEA can establish for you so that all of your roster imports compare profiles by ID only, not by name, birth date, and other data.
