MME

The Michigan Merit Examination assesses students in grades 11 and 12 based on Michigan High School Content Expectations (HSCE). It is administered each spring. The MME consists of three major components: the ACT Plus Writing college entrance examination; the Work Keys job skills assessment in reading and mathematics; and Michigan-developed assessments in mathematics, science, and social studies.
