  1. Michigan Merit ExamSpring 2008 Exam Administration Information

  2. What is the MME? • MI state assessment called the Michigan Merit Exam (replaces the MEAP). • The MME is made up of 3 testing components: the national ACT test; WorkKeys tests in math and reading (reading for information & applied math); and state created subject tests in the areas of math, science and social studies. • All juniors across the state will take this exam.

  3. When and Where is the MME? • The exam will be taken over the course of three days – March 11, 12, and 13. • The ACT Plus Writing will be given on March 11. • The WorkKeys tests and MI Math test be given on March 12. • MI Science and Social Studies tests will be given on March 13. • The MME will be given at Mercy during the regular school day.

  4. Why take the MME? • The ACT score from this test administration can be used to apply to a college or university. • The scores from these tests will be used to determine if a student qualifies for the Michigan Promise Scholarship. The potential scholarship is worth $4,000 and can be used to help pay for the cost of attending a university (public or private), community college, or technical/trade school in Michigan. • Students who choose to attend an out of state college can still use the money to take college courses here in Michigan. For example, courses taken during the summer at a state affiliated school.
