  1. Which three domain areas does MAP Growth Science assess?

    Answer: Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science

    MAP Growth Science measures three domains: Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science, aligned to national science frameworks.

  2. MAP Growth Science is primarily aligned to which national science standards framework?

    Answer: Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

    MAP Growth Science is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which integrate science and engineering practices with content knowledge.

  3. What does the RIT scale measure in MAP Growth Science?

    Answer: A student's science achievement on a continuous, equal-interval scale

    The RIT scale in MAP Growth Science measures science achievement on a continuous equal-interval scale, enabling meaningful comparison of scores over time.

  4. Which of the following is NOT a domain area assessed by MAP Growth Science?

    Answer: Social Science

    MAP Growth Science covers Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science — Social Science is a social studies domain, not a natural science domain.

  5. What type of assessment format does MAP Growth Science use?

    Answer: Computer adaptive

    MAP Growth Science is computer adaptive, meaning the difficulty of each question adjusts based on the student's previous response.

  6. How should a teacher use MAP Growth Science sub-domain data to inform instruction?

    Answer: By reviewing sub-domain RIT scores to identify which science content areas need the most instructional focus

    Sub-domain RIT scores in MAP Growth Science reveal relative strengths and weaknesses across Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth and Space Science, guiding targeted instruction.
