Giving the SAT only to juniors also will make for a simpler process during the testing season. In the past, districts could pick which PARCC exams to administer in high school, such as ninth-grade-level English language arts and algebra I, or 11th-grade-level English and algebra II. Students taking the tests could be in different grades, as long as they were in specific courses that would coincide with the PARCC exams.
