NWEA MAP Suite vs. ProProfs Quiz Maker

NWEA MAP is a great assessment for 1st grade and up. It directly aligns with the college and career standards. It can predict achievement on the ACT and state assessments. NWEA MAP used with kindergarten is not as aligned. It is very difficult for new kindergarteners to take. Most students guess because the assessment gets very long for them. It is a great assessment for the middle of the year for high achievers and at the end of the year for all students who are entering 1st grade.

According to me, ProProfs is a versatile tool so it can be used in different places keeping in mind different ways of applications. Businesses can use it for lead generation, pre-hiring skills assessments, training assessments, compliance training, increasing social engagement, and much more. There are templates segmented into different categories so you can understand different use cases.

• NWEA MAP Suite calculates projected growth for individual students based on their grade level and RIT score for each subject.

• Creating assessments is very easy with ProProfs. It has lots of pre-designed assessments that we can quickly modify by adding questions from their question bank.
• It has excellent anti-cheating features which allow us to conduct remote hiring tests.
• The tool provides simple and useful reports with visual statistics that make it very easy to compare candidates.

• NWEA MAP has technical issues during prime testing times (fall, winter, and spring). It is as if the system gets overloaded and cannot handle all of the students logged on at once.
• I would like to be able to see the reports immediately. Currently, you have to wait until the next day for the scores to be available.

• In my opinion, it doesn’t really need any improvements, but I’d like to see some advancements in:
• Templates.
• Question Types.
• Grading.

I’d give ProProfs Quiz Maker a 9. The quiz tool isn’t perfect but looks all set to become it. We’re particularly impressed by all the quiz creation resources it offers and how comprehensive the settings and functionalities are. The support has been good too. The customer service team is patient and readily available.

The customer service is phenomenal! Every time I call, which is not very often, I always get a friendly agent that works hard to solve my problem and does not give up. They look at all angles of the issue and will go above and beyond to help. For example, our students are rostered by connecting NWEA MAP Suite to our SIS, and sometimes there is a glitch. NWEA will call the other software company if necessary, to help get the glitch fixed.

ProProfs Quiz Maker is a very easy-to-use tool and that is its USP. It is preferred over other tools for its super simple user interface and the no-fuss installation. You can simply get started by signing up and choosing a plan and you don’t have to be highly tech-savvy to create quizzes or tests.

• Allowed us to test students 3x a year to better evaluate if a student is growing or not.
• The data from the MAP assessment may be included as part of the placement review process along with other data points, such as student work samples and other assessment data to help determine if a student is ready for the next grade level.
