PARCC is indeed 10 hours long -- or more:

[b]The PARCC testing consortium has announced that schools will need to schedule about 10 hours of testing time this spring for elementary school students, and nearly 11 hours or more for middle and high school students.[/b]

Released Thursday, the new time projections are higher than the estimates that PARCC issued in March of 2013: eight to 10 hours of testing. But that's because the earlier figures reflected something different: the amount of time "typical" students would need to complete the English/language arts and mathematics tests.[/quote]

Schools have to schedule 10 hours for testing. That doesn't mean it will take every child 10 hours to do the test.

Also, how much time did schools have to schedule for the previous tests? The tests themselves are new this year, but the testing requirement is not new.[/quote]
