Good morning!
If you have been looking at the beautifully designed NIS calendar, you will know that MAP testing starts next week.
What does this mean for you? Here is a quick Q&A:
Q1. What does MAP stand for? What kinds of tests are they?
Measures of Academic Progress. You will take a reading test and a maths test. These are taken on your laptops (trolley laptops for G3-4). You will take a similar test twice a year so that we can see your progress.
Q2. When do we take the tests?
Your teachers will let you know when you will take the test, normally during language and maths lessons.
Q3. Do I need to study something special for the test?
No need for special studying or cramming – we just want to know how you are doing in Reading and Maths!
Q4. Do I need to bring anything?
No – just yourselves and a positive attitude 🙂
Any other questions – please ask your teachers, Mrs Gijzen, Mrs Clarke, Mr Bratton, Dr Saavedra, or me – Mrs Tyoschin
Have a great Friday!
