What is MAP?

NWEA’s MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing is an adaptive assessment designed to measure a student’s academic growth and achievement in subjects like reading, math, and language usage. Unlike traditional tests, MAP adjusts the difficulty of questions based on each student’s responses, providing a personalized and accurate measure of what they know and what they’re ready to learn next. The results help teachers identify individual strengths, areas for improvement, and track progress over time. This information is important because it guides instruction, helps set learning goals, and ensures that students receive the right level of support to reach their full potential.
