Testing Step-by-step: Setup

Choose search criteria and then click Search.

Review the search results, deselect students if needed, and click Add Students.

Repeat the search as needed.

Note: Although you can add hundreds of students, try to keep the number reasonable, because too many names can slow down the student sign-in.

Potential Issue:

Student missing when I try to search for him/her

Double check your search criteria. If the student is still missing, the best practice is to notify a school or district leader. Or, if allowed by your school policies, you could add the student profile—see Creating a Student Profile. But, be sure to notify your MAP leaders so they can keep all records in sync.

RECOMMENDED—Assign tests by selecting students and clicking Assign Test.

With their tests assigned, students will have it selected automatically when they sign in. Each student can take a different test.

Note: For an explanation of MAP tests, see Test Names in the Web-Based MAP System.

OPTIONAL—Use Assign Accommodations (adjacent to Assign Test).

With this feature, your school keeps a record of what assistance each student received.

Note: You can also assign accommodations during the test (use the same button); however, after the student has finished with a test, you can no longer assign an accommodation. For more guidance, see Accommodations for MAP Assessments.

OPTIONAL—Click Save Session.

By saving it, you or someone else can use this testing session at a later time.

Tips for naming your testing session...

• Keep it simple enough for students to type
• Make it meaningful so you or others can find it later
• Follow school conventions. Example: jbmath72
  • jb = Your initials
  • math = Your subject
  • 7 = grade
  • 2 = period

Click Test My Class.

Potential Issue:

Test My Class button doesn't work

Your MAP profile was not associated with a class of students for this term. (This association must happen every testing term.) Contact a MAP leader in your school or district.
