Potential Cheating Indicators
Since AI misuse has become prevalent, NWEA should develop "indicators" to flag test results for potential cheating behaviors. Districts could investigate to confirm or refute flagged scores.

Bring the NWEA Secure Browser app up to industry standards.
This is more focused feedback than a suggestion, and we hope it's not taken lightly.
The NWEA Secure Browser app on Windows is notoriously worse at handling any kind of network disturbance—interruptions, hiccups, temporary disconnections, you name it—than its ChromeOS counterpart.
We’ve spent countless hours “troubleshooting” issues with NWEA support between the Winter 2024–2025 and Spring 2024–2025 periods, but the word troubleshooting is doing some heavy lifting here. While every person who has assisted us by phone has been polite, professional, and willing to help, it’s clear that NWEA lacks the systems and tools necessary to effectively support large schools…

Testing device identification
It would be helpful if the test proctor screen could identify how a student was accessing the MAP assessment. We have students that are finding ways to cheat by either logging into Chromebooks and then going to NWEA, but able to switch screens, or possibly using a different operating system to bypass our safeguards.

Report showing achievement only!
Set up a report showing achievement only that the school can share with parents. When a student is a high achiever, they often have low growth. Parents freak out when they see the low growth score. We either need a report showing only achievement or an explanation of growth vs. achievement

MAP Report for Administration
I would love to have a report where I can see all students in a spreadsheet with all of their existing scores by term. I.E. For math student ben I would be able to see each of his scores for whaterver date range I pull. This would be very helpful for quality control and to quickly identify students who are not progressing.

Family Access to MAP Results
The process by which to share MAP results with families is miserable. The family report is not batch-exportable so until NWEA decides to prioritize this simple but critical aspect of the Family Report, the process remains a clerical and technical challenge.
I would strong advocate for NWEA to institute a system by which parents can enter their child's ID (provided and rostered by the school) and through this system, they can access their child's MAP report. This would remove the school as the "middle man" in the distribution of MAP reports and significantly ease the burden of schools in this…

Please use Status Page for Outages
If you are having an outage, could you please update your status page: https://status.nwea.org
This would alleviate spending time on the phone to get an update that could have been posted. I was asked to enter this into this portal by the customer service rep who confirmed you were having an issue, but didn't know why the status page wasn't updated. Thank you.

Family Report
I print several Family Reports multiple times a year. Since batch printing Family Reports is not an option, can you please modify the interface?
Currently: once a report is printed, a button appears saying "Request Another Report." However, it does not work and you have to go all the way back to "Map Growth Reports" screen, scroll back down to to Family Reports and repeat the process.
It would be awesome if that button brought you right back to the Family Reports screen!3 votes -
Highlight tracking
When text is read aloud at K-2, it would be helpful to have the words highlight as it is read aloud to support tracking, especially for longer assessments

Update the app
The app is outdated in comparison to all the educational apps we have on the IPADS these days. We have had so many issues with students not being able to slide words or numbers, but click to get the dots in order to move. It needs to be updated. It's not user friendly, we actually had a student who had to click down to get the right answer, move words to match in the click down and way too many steps. Gotta find a better way.

Automated Report Services Update
We use the NWEA Web-based MAP Automated Report Services to retrieve data export files and recently moved the scripts to a new linux server. We had some difficulty getting these scripts to run; I think adding some additional instructions may help.
The first issue was retrieving the required Perl packages via the cpanm utility, per the recommendation on https://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html. That approach yields a failure during the building and testing step for the package WWW:Curl::Easy. To work around this, we used the system package manager to install the curl related dependencies for retrieve_dex.pl:
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install perl-WWW-Curl…

Notify Users IN ADVANCE for Updated Maintenance Hours
Please notify your users IN ADVANCE for upcoming maintenance not only on the status page but also the connection page specifically for Maintenance Time: https://connection.nwea.org/s/system-maintenance-windows?language=en_US
It is not helpful at all inserting a not-in-time (have to refresh to check the latest update) log in notification for an upcoming maintenance time within several hours. It is very difficult for schools to reschedule everyone with the last-minute notice. Especially international schools that are not in the PDT time zone.
It is particularly not helpful if everyone will have to wait till the admin sees the notice and react to it. Please send…

Client Notification When System is Down
MAP should PROACTIVELY post a message on their website and/or send immediate communication to their stakeholders when they're experiencing internal issues, i.e. today's server issue, RATHER THAN waiting for stakeholders to contact them, wait on the phone for hours of time, to find out what the issue is. Today's server error was INCREDIBLY disruptive to our EOY testing schedule and school community. The communication from MAP was not there and could have mitigated many of these frustrations.

Notification when System is Down
Rather than not answering your phone or chat when there is a known testing issue, why don't you post a message on the website. Better yet, you could email local administrators. I had better things to do today than be on hold for 30+ minutes. PS I never received a call back, as promised multiple times.

Add a button that we can click to submit an issue with the website.
When getting kicked out of the test, and seeing an "error" message, or issue with the testing site. It would be nice to have a "report an issue" button that we can click. The status page takes a while to get updated and instead of having to sit on chat for over an hour just to say "hey, there's an issue. Did you know?" We could do something to make sure you knew - like click a button. Teachers are people of action - waiting around without any info about why we can't test, is very stressful. Especially when we…

field questions to build confidence
To help build student confidence the test starts out with 2-3 easy (on grade-level or below) field questions. These questions do not have to count towards the test score. I have given this assessment several times and on the first or second question, I have students crying defeated because the question is so hard.
