NWEA MAP
What: assessment platform
When: 3 times per year: August, December, May
Where: Join a testing session through the student account. See instructions below.
Why: assessment tool to measure student growth over time
OVCA Goal is for every student to achieve one year's growth.
How to Login:
Students are only able to log in when they are in a testing session.
- Log into student account. https://login-learn.k12.com/#login
- Join testing session in CC schedule.
- Click https://test.mapnwea.org/#/nopopup
- Use the Session Name and password provided by the test proctor.
- Once inside the session, students choose their name and confirm their information.
- They will need to wait for the proctor to confirm that they can start.
Additional NWEA MAP Information:
- You must enable pop-up blockers on the NWEA Login Page before taking the assessment.
- Screen resolution MUST be set to 1024x768 or the assessment will not run. You can return it to your preferred or default setting after you are finished with the tests.
- The MAP Diagnostic Assessment is NOT a graded assessment.
- Students are not permitted to have assistance on the assessment as we need to have a baseline of what students know/don't know in Math and Reading. This will help us place them in the classes that will help them GROW the MOST as readers and math problem solvers!
- It is recommended that students take no longer than 75 minutes on the test. We need to know what students already know quickly, not what they can figure out after a long period of time. Please prepare your student for this, and remind them that after 3 minutes, they should make their educated guess, and move to the next question.
