What Is On the MAP 3rd Grade Test?

The MAP 3rd grade is comprised of the following sections:

  • Reading-between 40-43 questions
  • Language Usage-between 50-53 questions
  • Math-between 47-53 questions

The MAP test is a computerized adaptive Test. In adaptive tests, the test's difficulty changes according to the performance of the student, getting harder or easier following a correct or incorrect answer, that is why the number of questions in every section is not set. It is important to note that the MAP test does not have a general time limit.

The Importance of Preparing for the MAP Test

The NWEA MAP Test has become an increasingly popular method for measuring students’ academic progress. In recent years it has also seen wide integration into both public and private school admissions and gifted and excellence programs for children. Whether your child will be administered the MAP test for assessment or admission purposes, it is crucial to seek proper preparation prior to the exam.

Due to its unique and seemingly intimidating format and structure, practicing prior to the exam will help reduce test anxiety and pressure, which are very common for many students taking the MAP. In addition, getting familiar with the MAP structure and various question types and methods can both increase your child's accuracy and enhance the execution of his school knowledge. Moreover, if your child will take the MAP exam as part of an admission process, preparing in advance can give him or her a crucial advantage by boosting chances for enrollment.

How to Ensure Your Child is Prepared?

Since the MAP test adapts to the student's level based on his or her answers, the better prepared a student is, the more advanced the questions will be, and the higher he or she will place in academic progress. Therefore, the optimal preparation technique is to practice answering the same types of questions that are asked on the actual MAP test.

The more your child faces unfamiliar concepts and challenging questions, the better equipped he will be to handle them as they appear on the real test. Practicing the different subjects on the MAP test, as well as differing question types, enables students to deepen their understanding of the material and enhance their skills at solving all types of questions.
