Branson students are required to take the NWEA MAP assessments three times each school year (Fall, Winter, and Spring). This assessment is made up of four individual tests (math, reading, language usage and science). NWEA test results provide important instructional information for teachers and help to document the academic growth of the students in our district. Please review the information below and linked on this page to prepare yourself and your student(s) for NWEA testing.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS. TIMING IS ESSENTIAL, SO BE SURE TO LOGIN PROMPTLY ACCORDING TO YOUR CHILD'S SCHEDULED TESTING TIMES.
Please reference the Testing Schedule shared with you to determine when your student(s) are scheduled to take their NWEA assessments. Testing during your assigned testing time is essential, as the assessment coordinator will have to confirm each student when they log on to the system before they can begin testing. Please refer to the testing schedule for specific testing times, dates, and make-up opportunities. CLICK HERE to view testing schedule.
Please have your student(s) complete the MAP test Warm-Up exercises located at the following link prior to their scheduled test day. This link will provide a 4-minute orientation video to watch as well as sample test questions to work through and the calculator tool to become familiar with. Being familiar with the testing format will help you and your student to have a successful testing experience on the scheduled test day. MAP Growth 2+
