Our child was tested on the 2-5 MAP and received scores for math, language usage and reading all in the 99-99 percentile range.

According to this document: Topping Out the MAP Assessment , a child scoring in the 95%-99% range has the possibility of having "topped out" on the MAP test they took. Other factors include a student standard of error being higher than 4. I found this on NWEA's Spark Community site about standard of error in high achieving students.

I received a sheet of my son's RIT scores with a graph, but not a SEM score and also not information on how many test items he answered correctly. Since answering more than 65% of items correct is also a factor to consider, I think it's important info to have.

Has anyone asked their child's teacher for a SEM and for the percentage of correctly answered items when they are trying to determine if the MAP test their child is being tested on should be the next higher one?
