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 use of instructional time.
Also, it would be amazing if the "Well Done" dog appeared at the end of the practice test like it does in the real test so they can practice the classroom procedure when they finish.
Thank you so much!

I agree 100%!!!! As a veteran first and/or kindergarten teacher I strongly agree with this. These young students are being exposed to so many new concepts at the beginning of the school year and logging into MAP shouldn’t be such a difficult one. I really like the idea of adding the doggie at the end as well. Great ideas to consider!!

As a kindergarten teacher, I agree with both of these suggestions. It is very difficult to get them logged in to practice when they already don't have much experience on the devices. And showing what the end of the test would look like by having the dog there would be great! Often times, we tell them to raise their hand when they get to the end and they've already clicked out because they don't realize. Great suggestions!
