ISR Standardized Tests
MAP
The Measures of Academic Progress test presents content to students according to their age and grade level. As the student answers a question, the test adjusts the level of difficulty in response to the student’s answer. MAP measures learning in math, reading, and language use. MAP assessments use the RIT scale to create a grade-independent RIT score, which indicates the level of question difficulty a given student is capable of answering correctly about 50% of the time.
Our students take this test at the beginning of the school year and, along with their teacher, establish PLP goals. At the end of the school year they take it again to verify if the goals were met.
