The Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computerized adaptive test which helps teachers and administrators make informed decisions to promote the students’ academic growth. Grade 7 – 9 students sit for MAP tests in Reading, Language and Maths twice during the school year. The results are analyzed and factored into the decision-making process regarding the students’ choice of subjects, whether they are performing at the required level and possible interventions for those who are not. The MAP is administered at the High School computer lab facility.
Students of grades 10 at the MLS American Division are all required to sit for the Preliminary-SAT (PSAT) every academic year. For students in grades 10, the PSAT results guide their preparation for the SAT. the PSAT constitutes an additional chance to practice for the SAT. The PSAT is administered at the school and proctored by the faculty under the College Board’s strict regulations.
The American College Test: ACT
The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education have recently signed an agreement accrediting ACT assessments to measure learning and college readiness.
The agreement stipulates that universities in Egypt will now accept scores on the ACT test and an ACT subject area test for admission.
ConnecME Education, the ACT exclusive partner for the Middle East and North Africa region, administers all the tests in the region.
Please consult the accompanying PDF file for a comprehensive comparison between the ACT and the SAT.
Most Egyptian university websites still quote their required SAT score, not their required ACT score. Please find the conversion table here to see if your ACT score is admissible at your university of choice.
