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!

NOT Kindergarten Friendly
This format and layout are completely developmentally inappropriate for early childhood education students. I watched time and time again students who were attempting to answer questions correctly but couldn't because they were trying to drag images, words, or numbers. The idea of having to click it just the 'right way' so it is highlighted with a dotted box around it, and then click where to put it is insane. Further, when students were attempting to formulate sight words or sentences, some were trying to put them in order but because they weren't clicking on the exact correct spot on the…

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.

Learning Continuum
Printable Learning Continuum
I would love to see a PDF booklet of the Learning Continuum by domains. Right now, I'm having to copy and past each RIT band one by one for each of the Reading and Math domains. It is really time consuming for teachers to keep going back and forth rather than have an option to highlight what has been completed via a PDF or to print it out and highlight.Thank you.

Data Report
A report that showed the students percentile of each "topic" tested within the assessment.
For ex: on the k-12 Science test- we want to see how our students did (%) on Earth and Space. This way, we can pull the lowest 20% in a small group. This may be a different group of students with the "Life" science topic of the test. So we would pull another group.2 votes -
Bulk Roster Multiple Teachers
There needs to be a faster way to assign multiple teachers to the same class. There should be an option within the class to check and assign teachers to that class without doing it term by term, teacher by teacher, one at a time. This is tedious and time-consuming.

Universal Enabling for Text-to-Speech
It would be great to have the ability to turn on the text-to-speech accommodation (and select from the current configuration options for text-to-speech) for all schools/sessions/students. As some state assessments move to offering text-to-speech as a universal accommodation, it would be helpful to be able to standardize this for MAP Growth as well. Asking individual proctors to turn on the accommodation leaves room for people to forget and leads to an inconsistent testing experience for students. Having a district/schoolwide option would be very helpful.

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…

We need a linking study to STAAR for 2nd grade bilingual students
A linking study to STAAR for our 2nd grade bilingual students needs to be available like it is for the monolingual students in 2nd grade.

Progress monitoring option
It would be nice for our intervention teachers to have an option to progress monitor students on individualized learning plans to ensure students are making adequate progress towards their goals. This may be an option through additional paid platforms, but we only have access to MAPS Growth for the time being.

RIT Reference Chart Updates
The latest RIT Reference Chart Brochure is from 2019. An updated copy with the 2025 norms would be VERY helpful as it is a great visual for new teachers doing MAP testing for the first time along with parents. It gives a great example of where students are currently at.

Share the Complete Norms Table
In the 2025 MAP Growth Norms Technical Manual, the achievement percentiles are represented in increments of 5. This would be more useful if you posted the entire table, similar to the 2020 norms, with Pct. 1-99.

Adding back student data to Student Profile graphs!
When clicking on individual students reports, at the bottom of the report on the line graph that shows the data over time, you used to be able to click on any term, and all the student information appeared. (RIT score, percentage, how many minutes the test took, Rapid Guessing percentage, etc.). Now - that information is no longer available!! It only shows the students' RIT score. Why would you take away all that helpful data?!? If I'm trying to look at students' data over time to look for patterns, why would you not keep it all in the same place??…

Allow accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels
Allowing accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels would be really helpful to our HS campuses. Courses often have multiple grade levels and when adding accommodations to multiple students at once, they cannot see the grade levels.
