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.
Our dd had a very high MAP reading score at the beginning of 6th grade. Her winter reading score was a bit lower, and her spring score was a bit lower still. I'd like to blame it on the school for not teaching her (and I may yet do that), but I suspect there is some element of ceiling effect. I think both kids will also soon hit the math ceiling. They both had big jumps in Language Usage during 6th grade, possibly due to a school change just prior to the school year. (This is why I said earlier in the thread that I thought there would be essentially no ceiling
for a six year old.
