The following bandwidth recommendation provides guidance for MAP testing and are based on best estimate calculations. Test sites that do not meet these recommendations will be able to deliver assessments, but may experience delays.
Recommendation
  • 2 Mbps for every 30 devices testing concurrently °
  • Perform an internet speed test: www.speedtest.net °°
Additional Guidance
° Additional bandwidth is needed at the beginning of each test to load the initial test questions and the question display software into cache in each device's browser. The initial load is approximately 2.2 MB, and the load time varies based on available bandwidth.
°° Be sure to select Portland, Oregon for the speed test as this is the primary location of the NWEA servers.
