MAP is a computer-based testing system, correlated to the Nevada accountability assessments, that adapts to the child in real-time as the test progresses. Students are presented with age appropriate test questions at different levels of difficulty that adjust based on the students' responses. Data may be used to monitor student growth and help define student instructional level.
