I don't know what the MAP test is, but that fourth grader is either a whiz or he said, "Screw this nonsense!" I can remember hating proctoring "standardized tests," as they were called in my day.

Standardized are norm-referenced with other states across the nation This is only a MISSOURI test - Missourians competing with other Missourians for a score of proficient. Which sadly many do not reach ever.
