Remove Final "Wagging Dog" Page from Growth K-2 Test
We've noticed an issue with the Growth K-2 test. A lot of students think they’re done, but their status shows as “suspended.” They often forget to click the “Next” button when they get to the final reward or wagging dog page, which means the test doesn’t actually finish. As a result, their scores don’t show up in the report.
This makes it hard to tell who’s actually finished the test and who hasn’t, since we can’t tell if they just missed the "Next" button or didn't complete the exam. The page seems unnecessary and just adds confusion. Removing it would…

class/grade
In the student report, I can click on "Literary Text" and see skills ("analyze point of view" or "analyze characterization" for example) the individual student is ready to develop versus those that need reinforcement or development. I'd like to see something similar in class reports, grade level reports, and district level reports, disaggregated reading skills data from rather than just the RIT scores in Literary Texts, Informational Texts, and Vocabulary.
This report would be helpful for teachers to see where their class' overall weaknesses are, for grade level PLC teams, and for coaches and specialists. To get this kind of…

improve visual impairment accommodations
We have a child whose results will have no validity because the test does not allow for sufficient visual impairment accommodations. The test needs to allow for:
-Dark mode (white background fatigues the student's eyes)
-Sans serif font (serif font is very difficult to read with the student's impairment)
-Ability to magnify beyond 200% (graphics and math formulas sometimes require greater magnification)
-Ability to magnify charts, graphs, and answer choices (these could not be enlarged/made readable)The unsecured browser over-rode all the native Visual Impairment settings on the student's laptop and would not allow them to be re-set. Either a…

Family Reports
Please allow us to upload the family reports by school also not just individually by teacher. It will save so much time when we need all the reports alphabetically. Just like we can do in the Student Progress Reports. Thanks

Plz use black ink instead of grey on the Family Reports. They are hard to read

Skills Checklists
For the Skills Checklists, we need a way to bulk print individual reports for students. At my school, we did 5 different reading skills tests for 24 kindergarteners. We had to search for each test for each child individually in order to print it, and this was very time consuming. It would be nice if these skills tests could show up under the student profile with an option to print a summary of these tests with their growth tests.

student profile
For MAP Growth tests, I want a file that lists all of the Learning Statements for each student after they have taken the assessment. Right now, I have to go into each individual student to pull up their Student Profile to find this information. I want it available as a district .csv so that I may extract the individual statements for specific groups of students.

data from hovering over tests
In the past, you could hover over each testing date on the progress graph and see information about that specific test. Could that feature return? It was so very helpful and we are really missing it.

Stacked English AND Spanish Math MAP Test (emergent bilingual students)
I love that the MAP Growth tests are offered in both English and Spanish. However, we are noticing a consistent issue in scores from newcomer students (those here between 1-3 years).
When they first come and take the test in Spanish, the scores are fairly accurate to what they are demonstrating in class. However, after that, all future learning is done primarily in English. If we continue testing in Spanish, they show minimal growth because they don't always know the vocabulary in their L1 (native language) and are unable to accurately demonstrate these new concepts on a Spanish test. Yet,…

Remove screen resolution restrictions
The screen resolution restrictions on the NWEA testing app causes more issues for little to no reason. Screen resolution and txt DPI often need to be changed to support a students needs. We continue to get errors with this screen resolution requirement. We are looking for a version on the NWEA secure browser that does not have this restriction.

Data Point Boxes in Growth over Time Chart
With the 2020 norms, you were able to see the details in black boxes when you click on the data points in the Growth over Time (trend data) chart. With the 2025 norms, that information is not there anymore. Can you please add the data back into the boxes as it's helpful and efficient to look up previous information for the historical data. Thanks!

Improve text-to-speech
The text to speech pronounces environment incorrectly, as it pronounces the second 'n'. Also, it pronounces 20,000 as "20, zero zero zero". You could make the program run a check for whether the text says 3 numbers after a comma, or if there's just a space and 2 other characters. (Idea submitted by a student.)

practice test
This is in regards to the practice tests. They are SO valuable and love that they are available, but they are SO hard to access for our younger students and don't mimic how the students login to the actual tests. Is there any way to have a practice test available for the K-2 math and reading tests with less options for the students to pick from? It takes at least 15 minutes to go through the "grow - grow" then selecting grade, course, test language - with a room full of kindergartners and first graders. It is not the best…

The graph on the student report page is NO LONGER ACCURATE!!
I was just informed that the norms were updated this summer. However, the student report page has changed all previous windows to reflect the new norms. THIS IS NOT ACCURATE OR CORRECT. The percentiles are no longer accurate and the graph CANNOT be used to interpret the data. For example, a 157 for 1st grade for spring of 2025 was in the 15th percentile when the test was given. Now, it shows that the percentile is the 24th percentile. This makes the score within the average range while the 15th percentile is outside of it. This is a very large…

Adjust the Rapid Guessing Threshold
The rapid guessing threshold should be adjusted. We had a student take an entire math MAP test in 11 minutes with nothing flagged as rapid guessing. This is not the first time a situation like this has occurred. I believe that the rapid guessing threshold is not effective currently and should be reassessed!

Improve operational report options
I'm a campus testing coordinator at a large HS. Having to pull a PDF of the students not tested is very inconvenient when I need to organize the data. There should be an option to download this data as a spreadsheet. Further, the reports should mention if a student is suspended or has not started the test at all. It would be extremely helpful if we could see what question they left off on if their test got suspended. There should also be the ability for a school testing admin to at least see if a student is in an…

Improve the user-friendliness of the test!
This test is very difficult to administer. Please make it easy for teachers by being able to assign the test once and being done. It is very difficult to have to keep confirming kids. The kids often get kicked out and you have to check them and give them a different status and then confirm them again, so I can't go on to other tasks that I have to do - I am constantly having to monitor whether my kids have access to this darn test. The administration of it is not user-friendly at all!

is there a way to look at students that were in say third grade last year and see how they are comparing to themselves in grade 4?
I like to see how our students perform from Fall of say grade 3 to Fall of grade 4. I am currently entering this data manually. Since it already exist in the system can a report be created where the system can do this for me? Or even be able to download that data to a csv, then I can cut and paste... still not as easy as if the report already exist.
