The Michigan Merit Examination (MME) assesses students in grades 11 and 12 based on Michigan Curriculum Framework. It is administered each spring. The MME consists of three major components: the ACT Plus Writing® college entrance examination; the WorkKeys® job skills assessments in reading and mathematics; and Michigan-developed assessments in mathematics, science, social studies, and persuasive writing.
