The MAP language usage section is the third of the three subtests of the MAP Growth test. This test assesses students' writing and grammar across a range of levels. Like the rest of the MAP test, the language usage section is an untimed computer adaptive test. Students may begin taking the language section in 2nd grade, and they are tested throughout every school year to track their progress.
The MAP language usage section is made up of 40-43 questions that assess students' knowledge of writing process, usage of sentence structure, mechanics, and parts of speech.
Give your child a chance to practice with every one of these question-types by purchasing our MAP practice packs, equipped with hundreds of questions, followed by hundreds of explanations.
MAP scores use a curriculum developed scale system called the RIT scale. Because MAP tests are meant to benchmark student progress across school years, there are no high or low scores. Students are in competition with their most recent highest scores, and are meant to use the knowledge they have learned throughout the school year to improve these scores. There are, however, national standards of RIT scores that have been calculated based on past testing years:
Grade | Median RIT Score |
---|---|
2 | 203 |
3 | 211 |
4 | 218 |
5 | 223 |
6 | 224 |
7 | 228 |
8 | 230 |
*students may begin taking the MAP language usage exam in second grade*
