Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment MN MAP Testing Results

Hello to all. Single Dad here in MN trying to figure out RIT scores regarding MAP tests, etc.... I have a wonderful 12 year old who recently finished his spring MAP tests. The results are as follows: 243 Reading - 268 Math. He is currently in Algebra 1 (can't remember how old I was but younger than me). I'm having difficulty understanding the colleciton, distribution and norm. What does this mean and what should I be doing this summer to continue to promote his academic skills.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

RayJ

Hi RayJay, sorry we missed your post. I am on my ipad with not as much access to links, bur to get you started go to app. B here to find where your son's scores fall: http://www.nwea.org/sites/www.nwea.org/files/resources/NWEA_2011_RIT_Scale_Norms.pdf

P.69 shows his math score to be 99th % for 6th graders, 98th for seventh, 92nd for 11th...
P. 57 shows his reading to be 96th % for 6th graders, 94th for seventh, etc.

Your son's scores are great. I'm not sure what to suggest re: summer, except encourage him to read. I have an 8yo and we haven't really done much in the way of academics in the summer. just how our family does things. However we encourage things DS enjoys, provide interesting excursions, etc. He wants to learn programming, so we'll help guide him there. hopefully someone with a kid doing algebra will chime in with math fun recommendations.

You didn't say what grade your child is in but here goes..

268 math
99 percentile 6th grade
93 percentile 11th grade

243 reading
98th percentile 5th grade
92nd percentile 8th grade
86th percentile 11th grade
