Practice and scoring

Is this the real MAP Growth test?+

No. Mighty Minds is an independent practice tool that works like MAP Growth — adaptive questions scored on the RIT scale — but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by NWEA.

Which grades and subjects are included?+

Kindergarten through grade 12 in math, reading, and language usage. We suggest a grade from your child's date of birth, and you can change it anytime.

How are scores calculated?+

Each test uses a Rasch-based adaptive engine to estimate a RIT score, then compares it to NWEA's published 2020 norms to give a national percentile.

Can I use my child's school MAP scores?+

Yes. Enter past scores by grade and season when you set up a profile, and the first practice test starts near your child's actual level.

What is Learning Mode?+

A no-score practice session. When your child misses a question, an AI tutor explains the right answer step by step, with optional read-aloud.

Does my child see their score?+

No. Kids see a friendly "Great job!" at the end. Scores and AI summaries are behind your parent PIN.

Pricing and account

How much does it cost?+

Single Child is $7.99/month or $59/year. Family (up to 4 children) is $11.99/month or $89/year. Both start with a 7-day free trial.

Do I need a card for the free trial?+

Yes. We place a $1 check on your card that is released right away, and your first charge happens on day 7 unless you cancel.

Can I cancel anytime?+

Yes. Cancel from Plan & billing inside your account. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

Does it work on iPad?+

Yes — it's designed for iPad first, and also works on phones and computers in a web browser. No app download needed.

Privacy and safety

Who can see my child's results?+

Only you and the parents or guardians you invite. Your children's information, scores, and progress are never shared with Mighty Minds staff, affiliates, or third parties.

Can my co-parent see progress too?+

Yes. Invite them by email from your child's profile and they'll get their own sign-in.

Can my child leave a test by accident?+

Exiting a test requires your parent PIN, so kids finish their session and can't wander into parent pages.
