The MAP and NWEA assessments are designed to assess the student understanding not just basic memorization and test-taking skills. It is a way to assess what our students know and what they can do to help them succeed in the future.

How do I help my child prepare for the exam?

• Establish an appropriate bedtime with your child.
• Make sure your child eats a healthy breakfast each morning. A breakfast that includes protein is recommended as opposed to a sugary breakfast.
• Try to make sure your child is at school, prepared, and on time for each day of testing.
• Review test taking tips with your child.
• Discuss the importance of tests.
• Reiterate with your child to relax during the exam and put forth their best effort.

• Read and follow all directions and questions carefully.
• Before responding, be sure to look at all of the answer choices.
• Eliminate answers that don't make sense.
• Go back and make sure you've answered all of the questions.
• For ELA (English Language Arts) questions, remember to go back into the text to verify your answers (text evidence).
  
• Use scratch paper to work out math problems.
