Can I help my child prepare for the MAP Growth Assessments?
Of course, that is "prepare," not "study." Students should not study for the MAP Growth assessments, but it is always good to know what to expect. For tips to prepare your child for MAP Growth assessments read the following article, "Preparing for MAP Growth: 20 Tips for Families."

Will I get a copy of my child's MAP Growth results?
Yes, you will receive a family report with your child's MAP Growth results after each testing administration window closes.
