The deadline for the application for October MAP testing was September 10. The next step is for CPS to process all of the applications that were received.
At some point after October 1st and approximately 2 weeks before your MAP test date, you will receive mailed notification of your assigned test dates. This letter will also include your PIN for use in registering with the online parent portal. You will register in the portal upon receipt of the PIN. Two weeks after your child's 2nd NWEA MAP test is taken, you will log on to the portal to see scores from those tests and to register for the SEHS exam.
I spoke with OAE about this process. You will have the option to pick your dates and your sites for the exam. However, if you have fewer viable options for test dates, be selective with your date and indicate flexibility with your site. Sites are King, Lane, Lindblom, and Whitney Young. OAE says this will help to ensure that the date you need is assigned. By testing in December or January, you will not know the scores from the SEHS exam; however, OAE does report they have found a high correlation between NWEA scores and SEHS exam scores.
The Selective Prep class that is being held at North Park will conclude on December 7th.This leaves the December 12th date for testing as the best choice. If you would like to try and register for November test dates but also want your child to participate in test prep of some sort, you will need to look at options outside of the Selective Prep class.
