MAP Tutoring FAQ
The MAP Growth series of exams are intended to measure where a student is relative to where they should be considering their grade level. They are designed by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) as a measuring tool to make a student's academic growth as easily measurable as their height on a growth chart. If you would like your student to perform better on their next exam, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a MAP test tutor to help them reach their academic potential.
MAP test tutoring sessions are currently available for the following content areas:
Math
Reading
Language Usage (grammar)
Science
Spanish
These tests have no time limit, but are designed to last approximately 45 minutes per subject. They are also administered on a computer using special adaptive testing technology, meaning that the system selects the next question from a pool based on a student's previous responses. For example, the third-grade math test begins with third-grade mathematics questions but will shift to fourth, fifth, etc. if a student continues to get them right. Likewise, incorrect responses will bring about second or first grade-level questions until a student starts getting some correct. The test ends when a student has answered roughly half of all questions asked correctly, regardless of grade level.
This is a unique format, and students may start to feel self-conscious if they notice that question four is easier than question one. MAP Test tutoring sessions can include practice exams to help students answer the question in front of them without worrying about previous ones. Familiarity with the exam's electronic interface may also help a student live up to their academic potential. A MAP Test tutor may also be able to design study sessions around the results of the exam. For instance, let's say the third-grader in the example above answered fifth grade math questions correctly, but reads at only a second grade level. Their tutor now has quantifiable evidence that they need more help in reading than math and can react accordingly.

Recent MAP Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I discussed her previous scores. She had done very well overall, and she had missed the most questions in critical reading. I took a more detailed approach with her this time, asking her to carefully reword the question and to come up with her own answer, in addition to categorizing questions and looking for key words. She did very well.
We spent most of the session working through a set of problems based on sample questions that the student has had trouble with in the past. The student is doing much better on the questions that deal with setting up and solving systems of equations in two variables. She's also gotten very good at solving the sort of counting and probability problems that show up on the SAT. We looked at, we still need to work on percentages and sequences (the latter mostly because grasping the generality of the "nth" term in a sequence is a big and difficult step up from more concrete math).
We covered circles, solids, polygons, and some introductory algebra II concepts with exponents and radicals. While some of it feels familiar to him, I think it will be very helpful for him to continue going through this math book. The student is keeping up with a new book I recommended for him where he studies strategies and tips for the ACT Reading section for a few minutes each day for seven weeks.
During the first part of this session, the student and I worked on some of the question-types from the reading section of the SAT. After that, we continued our review of Math concepts from the previous session. We went over some vocabulary words at the end.
The student had only missed three questions from the two reading passages she had done for homework, and all were instances of overthinking. There were few math questions she had missed on previous tests as well, so we spent most of the time on English. Her foundation of grammar rules and her ear for proper English are solid, so a few broader strategy tweaks were all she needed. The student is right on the cusp of big score jumps, so I'm looking forward to seeing how she does on her homework.
We went over the student's vocabulary lists and the flash cards he wrote up, and reviewed the vocabulary-building resources available to him through his laptop. Then we discussed how to approach verbal analogy problems on the SSAT and worked through sample problems, discussing how to analyze each analogy.
