The Spring Semester has begun at ICA, and that means it’s time for our annual achievement testing.

ICA uses the Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) test through the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) for our achievement testing. The MAP test is unique in that it is taken online and the test is adaptive to the student’s ability. When students begin the test, the first question is at their grade level. If the question is answered correctly, the next question is slightly more difficult. From there, the test gets progressively more difficult with each correct answer and slightly easier with each incorrect answer.
