(2) MAPT Testing: All Students
New students must complete the Locator tests first.
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires us to administer the MAPT (Massachuseets Adult Proficiency Test) test to ALL students enrolled in our program. Students are assessed 2 or 3 times a year.
DESE uses these tests to show students are learning in our programs, develop new curriculum program, and establish funding. Classes remain free to you because of DESE's funding and support.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The MAPT tests are computer-based and given in Reading and/or Math. These are not pass or fail, but rather give us a baseline of what you know today.
The MAPT test is given by appointment only. You can choose to take it in-person or remotely from home.
If you choose to take it remotely, it will take place over Zoom. You must use a desktop computer, laptop, or tablet with a stable internet connection and camera. You will not be allowed to take this test on a Smartphone. The software is not mobile friendly.
A staff member will email or text you to schedule an appointment after all your information has been processed and/or submitted. Morning and evening appointments will be available.
Appointment reminders will be sent out as your date approaches.
If you are a no show for your appointment, you will need to contact us to reschedule.
