RIT range reports

These RIT range reports will tell you what question types were assessed on the MAP test.  You can determine where your child is at by noting their score in each of the test strands, and then looking at the corresponding report in the lists below.  The steps below will walk you through this process.

Step 1:  Use the score report that was sent home with your child on the day they tested.  You should have a separate report for Reading and for Math.

Step 2: Look at the sub-categories listed on the score sheet.  These are the strands.  Each strand will have a score for your child.

Step 3: Locate the Test on the chart below.  Then locate the strand, and the score range that correlates to your child's strand score.  Click the link to open the report.

Understanding the RIT score report

Each report has three columns.  The exception to this is the report for the highest and lowest scores, which will show only two columns.

The middle column corresponds to the range for your child's score.  The bullets listed in this range indicate the types of questions asked on the MAP test.  Since your child scored within this range, it means that when your child saw these questions, he/she got them correct HALF the time.

This 50% level indicates your child's LEARNING LEVEL.  The learning level is the point where your child has had enough prior learning to be actively learning information and skills in this RIT Score range.

The leftmost column on the RIT Report indicates skills your child is mastering.  In general, we say that students know about 75% of the material listed in the left column.

The righmost column on the RIT Report shows the items that will be assessed at the next level of the MAP test.  Generally, students know about 25% of the material listed in the right column.
