No. As noted above, BCC, and maybe other high schools, have mandated that all students take MAP tests.
Seniors took exception to this, because in the fall of senior year, there are a lot of moving parts to college applications and the Early Decision or Early Action deadlines come early. BCC then waived the tests for seniors.

Sure, for a 9th grader, they can take the test and it's not too much out of their day. But if you go into 9th grade at an Honors Pre-calc level and previously scored a 288 on your MAP-M like my daughter (and some magnet kids score above a 300), it sure is going to be a waste of time! Same for reading. DD's last score was a 265, or something like that. I agree with PP that above a certain score, regardless of grade, the test should be waived.
