About the Tests
- In 2008-2009 Missouri used the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math and communication arts, and in grades 5 and 8 in science.
- The results for math, communication arts, and science are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
- The MAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for
each grade by the state of Missouri.
- The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the test.
