I just got off the phone with NWEA. To further confuse things...here are the tests that are available.
MAP Survey 2-5
MAP Survey w/ Goals 2-5
MAP Survey 6+
MAP Survey w/ Goals 6+
But it looks like through ACCES, there is only MAP Survey 2-5 and MAP Survey w/ Goals for 6+.
I spoke w/ a technical support person at NWEA and gave him DS's Explore scores. He said that the Survey w/ Goals 6+ test is the best test for him. It will adjust down if need be and it will give more headroom when testing next year. The Survey tests are mainly used for kids entering a district or for checking mid-year progress. At any rate, certainly the MAP Survey w/ Goals 2-5 is the minimum I'd want to use. So I will call ACCES Inc now to see if I can switch him to the Survey w/ Goals 6+.
