Here's the link for the MAP Norms. The charts for end of year reading are on page 142 of the pdf. Language is on page 148 and math is page 144. You're welcome!

Does anyone know if a particular K-1 MAP score corresponds to the same score on the regular MAP test?

NWEA's answer seems to be yes but I'm not entirely convinced. DD's RIT score was lower when she took the standard MAP in the fall than it had been the previous spring on the P-MAP. I think it was more of a difference between the tests than a "summer slump." http://www.nwea.org/support/article/1261

Thanks so much inky! I was trying to compare my DD's reading MAP score at the end of 1st grade (which she took with a 2nd grade class and therefore were on the standard MAP) and my DS's reading MAP scores at the end of 1st grade (which were on the MAP for Primary Grades). Not reading to compare children, just trying to get a sense of differences and similarities in prepartation for a discussion with the principal and GT coordinator.

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

Didn't someone ask for norms for the MAP for gifted kids or for the college-bound population? I have a chart which lists medians for gifted kids and grade level medians.

Someone emailed it to me. It's not pasting here and I don't have a web link to it. If anyone is interested I can try typing it out here.

I didn't ask about it, but I'd love to see it if it isn't too much trouble. Or, if you prefer, you can email it to me (PM for address).

Dazey,

Thanks for copying that out. Interesting info.

Do you have a source for the date? I'm just curious where the information is coming from, sample size, etc...

Here's a link for the report:
http://www.dubuque.k12.ia.us/MAP/2005docs/2005PlacementGuidelines.pdf
It comes from the norms in this report which goes into detail about sample size, etc.:
