Course-Specific Math Tests
Students in grades 9 to 12 can take growth tests up to 3 times per year for the following subjects:
- Algebra 1 or 2
- Geometry
- Integrated Mathematics 1 or 2 or 3
In the test results, you can use the achievement norms and learning statements like other MAP Growth tests. For growth norms, however, you should disregard what appears on MAP Growth reports, and instead refer to the Course-Specific Math Norms.
Test Structures and State Standards
The instructional areas ("goals") of MAP Growth tests vary by state and standards alignment. Details are available here: cdn.nwea.org/state-information/index.html
