Minimum Specifications address the oldest operating systems and lowest levels of hardware capacity that can reasonably be compatible with PARCC computer-based assessments in 2014-2015.

• Minimum Specifications apply to existing school technology inventories.
• Computers meeting the Minimum Specifications can be considered as satisfying PARCC guidelines for 2014-2015.

• Computers with these minimum specifications may not be adequate beyond the second year of PARCC assessments in 2015-2016. PARCC recommends that schools upgrade or replace computers that have older operating systems and lower memory to raise their capacity to Recommended Specifications levels as soon as possible.
• Computers that meet only the Minimum Specifications will be compatible with the PARCC assessment delivery platform, but may be more likely to experience slower performance than higher capacity computers.

Recommended Specifications outline the levels of computer and network capacity that are more likely to meet growing demands for school technology that supports learning, assessment, and administrative uses simultaneously across classrooms.

• Recommended Specifications apply to both existing inventory and new hardware purchases.
• Computers meeting the Recommended Specifications can be expected to satisfy PARCC guidelines through the 2018-2019 school year
