Dear Students,
MAP testing begins on Monday, August 31. To help ensure that testing runs smoothly, please check that your child’s MacBook or iPad is ready in advance.
The NWEA Secure Testing Browser/app used during our previous MAP testing session already meets the current requirements, so there is no need to reinstall it. However, it is imperative that the device’s operating system is updated.
Minimum requirements:
- MacBook: macOS 15 or later
- iPad: iPadOS 18.7 or later
Apple provides instructions for checking the operating-system version on each device:
If an update is needed, please follow Apple’s official instructions:
Please complete all available operating-system updates before August 31. Updates can take considerable time, so please do not wait until the morning of the test. We recommend backing up the device and connecting it to power before beginning an update.
Students should bring their device to school fully charged each day of MAP testing.
If you need assistance updating your device, please contact or visit the IT Department.
Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth testing experience.
