Anyone know when the 2014 norms will be released?
Thanks!
I assume you've already found the 2011 norms summarized in this cut sheet:
https://www.nwea.org/content/uploads/2014/07/MAP-Normative-Data-One-Sheet-Dec11.pdfFrom what I can see, they are developing norms to be released in 2015.
2014 should be release this fall sometime.. its every 3 years
I see that it has been, but this page references 2015 norms (about half-way down):
https://www.nwea.org/assessments/map/scale-and-norms/Perhaps it's a misprint? Or they've decided to change their procedures?
Not sure how you can have 2015 norms when 2015 hasn't happened yet?
Released in 2015, I think.
Do the numbers really change that much?
new norms release this fall. The number doesnt change nicoledad but the percentiles do. dd dropped from 98th to 75th in reading at the last norming from when she was in first grade. I dont think the changes will be as drastic this time as the number of kids participating may actually make the scores go the other way!
I think that it was normed originally on a fairly low achieving group. I feel like my kids' scores have been somewhat inflated in comparison to other standardized testing.
This is our first year dealing with MAP and I am looking at the norms. Do I understand correctly that you compare your child's score to the grade level scores to find out where they are academically?
Thanks for any help or explanations.
If you take the RIT score and look at the norms chart, you can see where your child's score falls across various grades. If you have local norms, it can also be helpful to get an idea to see where they fall within their school system.
Thank you much! According to that, my third grader is scoring above the 11th graders in reading...but sadly, needs more exposure to math.
Minx, I think the score chart that was posted previously had the mean data on it. Here's one that's also from 2011 that has the percentile range on it. I think it's more helpful.

Yes, the norms chart syoblrig posted is the one I use. The means chart posted earlier suggests that when my then 8-year-old DD was tested it the spring, she was well above the 11th graders in all subjects. She IS bright, BUT the 2011 norms chart provides a better perspective. Furthermore, we live in an area with high performing schools, so looking at the data from her school, and even more specifically, her school's "advanced" peer group in various grades is really the most helpful data that I've found.
Still, there are linking studies with the MAP/EXPLORE/ACT, and I found this data helpful when deciding to have DD take the EXPLORE.
