As schools prepare for the 2024–2025 academic year, anticipating Nwea Map scores by grade level 2025  can help set realistic student goals. While official 2025 norms won’t release until Fall 2024, projections based on past trends suggest similar benchmarks to 2024, with slight adjustments for post-pandemic learning recovery.

Projected 2025 NWEA MAP Score Ranges

·         1st Grade:

o    Math: 150–175

o    Reading: 150–170

·         4th Grade:

o    Math: 190–215

o    Reading: 195–215

·         8th Grade:

o    Math: 220–240

o    Reading: 220–235

·         11th Grade:

o    Math: 230–255+

o    Reading: 230–250+

Key Changes for 2025

·         Science Focus: More districts may emphasize science MAP testing due to STEM initiatives.

·         Tech-Enhanced Questions: Interactive question types (e.g., drag-and-drop) could impact scoring.

·         Growth Comparisons: Schools may analyze 2023–2025 data to assess long-term COVID learning gaps.

How to Prepare for 2025 MAP Tests

  Review 2024 score reports to identify trends.
 Leverage NWEA’s 2025 Practice Toolkit (released Summer 2024).
  Prioritize foundational skills (e.g., fractions in math, inference in reading).

Pro Tip: For the most accurate 2025 data, refer to NWEA’s updated norms in August 2024. Schools often share cohort-specific data during parent-teacher conferences.
