The PARCC tests measure whether students are meeting new, higher academic standards and mastering the knowledge and skills they need to progress in their K-12 education and beyond. They test more complex skills like critical-thinking, persuasive writing, and problem-solving. This was the first and last time Mississippi used the PARCC test. The same college-and career-ready standards that have been used over the last several years will continue to be taught, but the state will begin administering the Mississippi Assessment Program (MAP) instead of PARCC this school year and will continue for the next several years.
