Total testing time should be the same for all
My daughter (3rd grade) recently gave me feedback about why she doesn't look forward to these tests and I found it important to consider. When she sees her peers finishing the test before her she gets antsy to finish so she can read, draw, or do something else silently at her desk until all of her classmates are finished. The standardized way a test is administered is as important, if not more important, than the actual test questions and results. My daughter thought she was less knowledgeable and slower than the other students because she was taking longer to finish…

Download of standards below student's grade
A downloadable report which lists each student who missed standards below their current grade. For example, a child is in 6th grade, but failed to answer standards from 3rd and 4th grade. The download would consist of the student's name and grade as well as those standards - could be listed by MN Standard's codes - they missed. IXL builds a plan for the student, but that plan is based on their RIT. I need to know the standards they missed which were much lower than the overall RIT.

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…

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,…

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…

Reinstate the NPR on the Student Profile Report
I can no longer see the NPR on the Student Profile Report. Previously, on this report, when you would click on an historical test on the graph, you could see the NPR information for that test. I see with an online search that “NWEA has refined its reporting over time to emphasize specific metrics that they believe are most helpful for informing instruction. By moving the percentile rank, they have shifted the focus of the student profile report to a growth-oriented view, rather than a normative comparison.” As a Coordinator of Gifted Services in Ohio, I can only identify a…

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…

Terminating a Test should be admin only
Proctors should not be able to administer a test. I have had multiple proctors terminate multiple tests because a student thinks they are not done with a test (forgot they finished with a different teacher a different day), and the teacher gets flustered and terminates the test, thinking they can reset it so the student can be assigned a new test. Please make it much more difficult to terminate a test so this is not accidentally done. Thanks!

accommodations
It would be helpful to have the ability for a testing administrator or testing coordinator to pull a report before testing has begun, but after sessions have been created, that shows which accommodations have been assigned to the students. This would allow administrators to confirm that the correct accommodations have been assigned to students before the test is given with the incorrect accommodations.

faster slow down sloth
Can the slow down sloth be set up within the MAP test to appear more quickly? We recognize this is a product change but are hoping it can be seriously considered.
Our team has noticed a critical feature of MAP NWEA is not quite what it could be. There is a "slow down sloth" that appears when students take the MAP test too quickly, randomly clicking through the answers. This was a feature we were excited about when we first moved to NWEA assessments.
The sloth is a great feature but is too slow to appear and misses many students…

Show battery percentage in Chromebook kiosk app
Once the Chromebook kiosk app launches, there isn't a way to check the battery percentage. If a student doesn't check before they launch and their battery is low (less than 10%), we run the risk of the Chromebook unceremoniously shutting down in the middle of a test. Please display the percentage discreetly somewhere on the screen so that we can avoid this in the future.

Accommodations
Hi! We have several students where we have a legal obligation to provide accommodations (IEPs) , such as paper based testing. It would be really helpful to have an accessible option available to print. This would allow all of our students access to participate in testing, and allow us to have solid data points for our students receiving services. At this time, some students are not able to engage with this format of testing.

Add Student Class Column and in the Test Session Filter
It would be helpful for a proctor managing multiple classes in one testing session to be able to identify which class the students are. Being able to accurately identify a class to suspend test, test again, and etc.
