q2 · i? · design · r2

Chapter 9 describes the pilot user norms built from the 2018–2019 pilot year of test data. The report states they are "drawn from a limited pool of test events and not a nationally representative" sample, limiting interpretation to basic contextual information.

"Although they are drawn from a limited pool of test events and not a nationally representative like the general MAP Growth norms, they provide basic contextual information about student performance in the fall and spring and growth between fall and spring."
