Create a new tile for "Manage Testing Sessions" for all users
Create a new tile for "Manage Testing Sessions" for all users. This particular tile is beneficial to all users and it will be an easy access for "newbies" having trouble finding the "Manage Testing Sessions" to create, edit, and find saved testing sessions.

When students time out...
When students time out, their names are no longer in the class list to log back in. The proctor must suspend them and then set them to "test again" after which they have to reboot and then log in again. THIS IS a software bug. The work around I have described is "solving" something that the developers should fix. Student names can be repopulated if the software is changed. Every teacher in every school encounters this problem and has for the past 17 years I have administered this test.

Progress Monitoring
We would love to see NWEA MAP create a true progress monitoring tool that can be used between the benchmark testing windows. A shorter assessment that will report RIT, PR, and ROI - all within the same platform - would be outstanding. This would support additional data gathering for students receiving supports: MTSS/RTI, IEP, and EL.

Allow ESTIMATED scores for kids taking 2+hours on the Reading Growth test
Some students are taking an incredibly long time on the Reading Growth test. They are carefully reading all the questions, getting them right, and then getting an even longer passage. They are taking up to 3 hours to finish the test. We can't test them for that long, but we also don't want them to just lose all their hard work if we stop before they get a score. Can you PLEASE offer the option at admin discretion to just get an estimated score after a certain amount of time spent on the test???

Admin
Admin accounts should be able to join a testing session currently in progress in order to help remotely troubleshoot an issue a teacher is having or view the session's password and Proctor PIN.

Upload file for accommodations
Campus or district staff needs to be able to upload a file for accommodations to verify that the correct accommodations are given to the students. If this cannot happen, admin needs to be able to verify what accommodations are assigned by proctors before testing. Currently, we cannot see that information until the student has already tested. Then, it is too late to correct without retesting students.

Multiple Languages for Tests
Would be nice if it was possible to have the tests in other languages besides spanish as there are more students coming in with different languages at lower grades and even higher grades.

Testing Time
Is there a way we can prevent the students from finishing very quickly? Rapid guessing doesn't come up for some kids because that is within the "assumed time," etc. However, a majority of the kids are taking a 42-47 question math test in less than 30 minutes. A lot of kids who are below average know way more than their placement. Or ask them more "current grade level" questions on top of the past standards to help improve their score. Thank you!!

Math Tests Read ALOUD
I believe it completely negates the validity of the math MAP test when students at grades 3+ are responsible for reading the math test. As a third grade teacher, I have plenty of students in my class who unfortunately score very low on the math MAP test due to poor reading skills. If we are testing their mathematical ability, we should not be requiring them to read.
Further, this renders their reports virtually useless because I do not know what was missed due to a mathematical misunderstanding or what was answered incorrectly simply because the child did not know how…

File upload option for creating test sessions
Is it possible to have a file upload option? We're not able to use homeroom rosters or class periods in MAP, but if I could upload a file with class rosters we created that would be awesome.

skills checklists
I wish that you would move multiplication/division out of the other skills tests and make them a skills test of their own. If students have not had those yet, they get very frustrated which spoils the rest of the test for them.
Also, I wish you would limit skills tests to 10-14 items, pinpointing more specific topics, and have more skills tests.4 votes -
Student Log in
We are running into some issues with testing sessions and student test access. It would be great if students had a log into the system rather than selecting their name from a drop down. It would also be helpful if the school for the testing session were listed as one of the columns for ease of finding all sessions at that school for review. It would be great if the filters on the test session screen also held so when reviewing details of multiple sessions the filters would not need to be redone each time. Feel free to contact me…
