I read at a teacher's website that MAP is less predictable on the high end. One teacher said that in her gifted kids, she can see more than 20pt increase or decrease. My son took the MAP this year for this first time. It'll be interesting to see how he scores next year. The test is only available at the end of the year that I know of so we won't have beginning of the year numbers to compare....just end of year to end of year.
