Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Skills is a web-based assessment system published by Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). The test publishers purport that MAP Skills provides information about essential K-8 building blocks in Language Usage, Mathematics, Reading Comprehension, and Vocabulary to quickly assess student progress toward college and career readiness. The tests within MAP Skills contain almost 10,000 items total across the four areas (Language Usage, Vocabulary, Reading, and Mathematics).
