MAP Growth Test Description

MAP Growth tests produce both an overall subject score and scores for the instructional areas, also called "goals." You can test up to four times per academic year without presenting the same question to a student in a two-year period.

You can choose from the following tests:

Course-Specific Math Tests

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
