I love the MAP tests. They progress with your child, so they don't get stopped upon achieving some arbitrary grade level number.
The only time I've see MAP testing stop is in the HS level in math. Often times, depending on what service the school is using for the MAP software, the math tests will only go up to basic Calc level. I'm sure it may happen with other subject matter as well.
While you wouldn't normally think that's an issue, GT sutdents and teachers are sometimes assessed by how much the students have improved. When standardized tests are given to students who have already topped out on standardized tests or haven't studied what is in the tests for years, it gives a false impression that the student hasn't progressed, indeed they have, just not on what they're being tested on.
