About the NWEA MAP Test 7th Grade

Like other NWEA examinations, the 7th Grade MAP Growth Test is a computer-adaptive test in which a question's level of difficulty is determined by whether or not the student has answered the preceding question correctly.

The 7th Grade MAP Test has three sections, all of which are aligned with the Common Core. The test is untimed, though students usually spend approximately an hour on each section.

The 7th Grade MAP Growth Exam is scored through the use of a Rasch UnIT (RIT) Scale. The RIT scale provides a grade-independent score. Each given RIT grade demonstrates the level of difficulty in which a student is able to answer the questions correctly about 50% of the time. This is also referred to as the zone of proximal development. Note that if a seventh grader and a sixth grader achieve the same RIT score on a given section of the exam, such as math, it means that they demonstrate the same level of capability in this subject area.

MAP Test Practice Tips: 7th Grade

• Study according to your student’s level. While you may be studying for the 7th Grade MAP Test, each student’s level of knowledge varies and there may be some knowledge gaps in need of being filled. We therefore recommend taking the time to fill them.
• Schedule reading time. Nothing beats improving vocabulary and language skills in general than taking the time everyday to read. We recommend incorporating both fiction and nonfiction sources into your reading time, as both will be included in the exam.
• Discuss current events. Keeping your student informed about current events is a great way to maintain interest in learning, a weapon imperative to doing well on the exam.
• Use math daily. For many students, math anxiety is a daily academic struggle. Therefore, sprinkling a bit of math into your student’s day, be it through a fun math fact or an interesting equation, can help loosen their nerves and even pique their interest.
• Maintain a steady study schedule. Sticking to a schedule with firm deadlines and time restraints will help keep your student mentally organized and also ensure every minute counting towards his or her prepping process.
• Add variety! Varying both studying location and style is beneficial in keeping your brain from idling. Studied at home too much? Try the library or a café. Did a lot of highlighting and reading? Try writing and speaking.
• Keep an eye on nutrition. Making sure your diet consists of all the necessary nutrients is key to ensuring the utmost effectivity in every study session. Protein, healthy fats, and fruits and veggies are a splendid weapon for brain power and focus.
• Treat sleep as non-negotiable. Alas, many students have fallen for this “extra time in disguise”- it makes sense, sleep less study more. Except it doesn’t. Getting 8-9 hours of sleep is a crucial part of information retention. Not getting your ZZs after an effective session of studying makes it ineffective.
• Talk through the topics you cover. Sometimes talking about a topic helps it register better in the mind. Make sure to talk through the difficult concepts, be it in language usage, reading, or math.
• Practice with practice tests! Practice tests are the best way to become accustomed to the format of the examination and thus feel more prepared on test day. Often text anxiety comes from unfamiliarity with the test format.
