Map Testing - Grades 5-8

MAP, or the Measure of Academic Progress, is a computer-adaptive skills assessment that provides parents, teachers, and administrators with metrics to measure a student’s growth and progress. The data derived from these assessments allows administrators and teachers to measure student growth and proficiency, identify strengths and weaknesses at the school, class, and individual student levels, target instruction, and personalize learning.

SAT School Day at JPII

At St. John Paul II School, students are set up for success by making standardized testing a familiar and stress-free experience. Seniors take the SAT during the school day—right on campus and free of charge. Testing in a comfortable, familiar environment helps students feel confident and can maximize performance.

Over the course of all four years of high school, JPII students build confidence and readiness by taking PSAT assessments during the school day. This consistent, in-school practice allows students to become comfortable with test content, timing, and format long before their official SAT.

School Day testing also eliminates the stress of locating off-site testing centers and avoids disruptions to weekends, jobs, and family time. Students test alongside classmates, in familiar surroundings, with the support of a community they know and trust.

Nothing builds confidence like practice—and the SAT is the only college admission test that offers free, personalized practice plans for every student.
