The Michigan Merit Examination (MME) assesses students in grade 11 (and eligible students in grade 12) based on Michigan high school standards. It is administered each spring, and consists of three components:
  • ACT Plus Writing® college entrance examination
  • WorkKeys® job skills assessments in reading, mathematics, and "locating information"
  • Michigan-developed assessments in mathematics, science, and social studies

A student may now take the MME once and only once. Some exceptions exist. For information about taking the national ACT as an optional way to become eligible for installment payments of the Michigan Promise scholarship, click here.
