My son's school never used the primary MAP (they started in 2nd, and they also allowed my son to take it when he was in kindy), so I really know little about the primary MAP. Except that I've heard other scores that were higher than a supposed 200 ceiling, just like your son's.

frannieandejsmom - That is too bad they wouldn't allow your 1st grader to take the higher level test. You may have a year or two with the 2-5 MAP that will give you meaningful info. It seems to me that MAP is really only useful in the early years for GT kids. (But perhaps that's only true for the 2-5 version.)
