Several questions as this discussion has made me curious.

Is MAP testing only done by schools or is it available elsewhere?

It seems like it could be useful for homeschoolers, etc. in determining where to start their kids on certain subjects.

In terms of schools, are these districts giving all the kids the test? I am impressed by any district that is willing to find out a kid is way ahead of grade level - ours just wants to ignore that fact.
