MAPS

Who?: Northwest Education Systems
What?: PSSA Prep Test
Where?: Big Spring High School 11th Grade Classrooms
When?: Twice per school year
Why?: To find out who is likely to pass the PSSAs, who needs a little extra boost, and who will not pass.

RIT Range- Tells you the percent chance of a particular student passing the PSSA

Questions/Concerns:
  • How much does MAPS correlate with the standards? 
  • How much does MAPS correlate with the PSSAs?
  • How literally can we take these results?

Perks/Why it is helpful:
  • Can print out a profile for each class
  • Can print out a profile for each student
  • Targets the exact concepts you need to clarify, improve, and/or forget about (because they have already mastered them).
