QSIA Placement Test Information:

QSI uses the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) computerized adaptive test to provide placement data.
Students ages 5 and up will take the MAP entrance test evaluating the student’s knowledge in Reading, Mathematics, and Language Usage. All three tests are given in the English language.
Students ages 8 and older also complete a written essay.

Results from the MAP tests are one way, but not the only way, in which we determine student readiness and placement.
