What is MAP Growth Testing?
MAP Growth (Measures of Academic Progress) is a computer-adaptive test designed to measure a student’s academic performance in areas like reading, math, language usage, and science. Unlike traditional assessments, MAP Growth adapts to the student’s learning level, providing a personalized testing experience that accurately reflects their individual abilities. As students answer questions, the test adjusts in real-time, presenting more challenging or easier questions based on their responses.
