MAP testing is here. Beginning Mon, Feb 5 for 2 weeks 2nd – 8th grade students will be taking standardized MAP tests. These tests give baseline scores for math, reading comprehension, and language use, which enable teachers to better help students focus on specific skills to improve. Although there is not a way to study for the test, parents should encourage their children to follow these tips to help them do their best:
  1. Get plenty of rest beforehand, and eat a good breakfast.
  2. Each test is unique to you as an individual.
  3. You are not expected to know all the answers.
  4. The tests are not timed. Don’t rush, but work productively.
  5. Use your best test-taking skills — read carefully, look for clues, eliminate wrong answers.
For more information about the tests, parents can check the MAP Parent Guide in either Spanish or English. Also, TIPS for students is very helpful.
