Precisely measure growth and performance

Learning made visible

MAP® Growth™ measures what students know and informs what they're ready to learn next. By dynamically adjusting to each student's responses, MAP Growth creates a personalized assessment experience that accurately measures performance. Timely, easy-to-use reports help teachers teach, students learn, and administrators lead.

MAP Growth

Putting assessment into action means using MAP Growth data to pinpoint the instructional areas your students are ready to tackle-whether they're on, above, or below grade level.

Growth over time

MAP Growth reveals how much growth has occurred between testing events and, when combined with our norms, shows projected proficiency. Educators can track growth through the school year and over multiple years.

MAP Growth for Science

Support STEM efforts with MAP Growth for Science, an interim assessment for grades 3-9. This one science assessment covers three key domains: life sciences, earth and space sciences, and physical sciences. Use the precise, real-time results to personalize instruction throughout the year for every student.

Common Core MAP Growth

Common Core MAP Growth data provides you with a clear picture of K-12 student growth term-to-term and year-over-year. Get insights into every student's learning needs, while gaining valuable information about student progress with a common core assessment that measures real growth-even if you experience proficiency drops on your summative assessment.

End of Course Assessments Math

At the end of the year, use these 5 tests to measure upper-level math knowledge. Every license for MAP Growth includes five End of Course mathematics tests: Algebra 1; Geometry; Algebra 2; Integrated Mathematics 1 and 2; and Integrated Mathematics 3. End of Course assessments aren't pretests or mastery tests. Instead, use them to measure your students' understanding of specific content after a year of instruction.

MAP Spanish Mathematics

MAP Growth Spanish Mathematics for grades 2-12 measures your English Language Learners' knowledge of mathematics more accurately. Quick, accurate results from MAP Growth Spanish Math help you create targeted instruction, track student growth, and make direct comparisons between English- and Spanish-language MAP Growth Mathematics scores.

Results that educators trust

NWEA uses anonymous assessment data from over 10.2 million students to create national norms. Educators compare their students' performance against norms to evaluate programs and improve instruction-in individual classrooms and throughout school systems.

Every question on a MAP Growth assessment is calibrated to our RIT scale. Because the equal-interval scale is continuous across grades, educators can trust it to track longitudinal growth over a student's entire career.

Computer Adaptive Assessment

MAP Growth tests begin with a question appropriate for the student's grade level, then dynamically adapt throughout the test in response to student performance. This progressive refinement allows MAP Growth to challenge top performers without overwhelming students whose skills are below grade level.

PRODUCT FEATURE Instructional Connections

MAP Growth is connected to the industry's most extensive array of instructional partners to help schools and districts get more from tools they're already using.
