Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment What do these MAP Math scores imply?

DD completes 4th grade and scores 257 (99%) on spring 2-5 MAP math.

DD qualified for and completed 2 year advanced math (7th grade material) in 5th grade and due to a school policy of not moving students to the 6+ test, she scores 254 (97%) on spring 2-5 MAP math.

Do these scores show any indication that this child learned any math from 4th to 5th grade?

I was told by staff that the test should go to 270. Shouldn't taking advanced material have translated into a higher score than the previous spring? It appears to me even with the Standard Measure of Error of 3 that there was still 0 growth.
