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 difference for how data is interpreted and it is not accurate as the norms did not exist at the time of the test. It also moves the band that the score should fall into on the graph that I have previously used to interpret the MAP data and shared with parents. I can no longer do this and it is very concerning as a school psychologist. PLEASE USE THE CORRECT NORMS FOR THE PREVIOUS WINDOWS TO REFLECT ACCURATE PERCENTILES FOR WHEN THE TEST WAS GIVEN.
