Covenantcasa - do you mind sharing either here or in a private message to me, how your son's score compares between 2-5 w/ goals and 6+ w/ goals? My 4th grader is scheduled to take the MAP next week and I"m undecided as to which test to give. I know he'll be fine w/ Reading 6+ w/ goals and the Language Arts only comes in survey or w/ goals so no choice there but it's the math I"m undecided about. I spoke with NWEA and they suggested 6+ w/ goals but computer adaptive tests start near the middle and then go either up or down....I just worry about him being discouraged by the first problems being so hard.
What I'm not sure about is that Inky posted a link to a website saying that the 2-5 didn't have computation with fractions, decimals, and percents. My 1st grader took the 2-5 survey and it had simple computations with fractions and decimals.
Any help is appreciated,
Dazey
