Where Do Students Take the MME?

Public School students	Test at your own high school. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. Contact your school's Guidance Office for details.
Nonpublic School students	If your nonpublic school offers the MME, test at your own school. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. Contact your school's Guidance Office for details.
Nonpublic School students	If your nonpublic school does not offer the MME, you may test at an MME Auxiliary Test Center (click here for registration information). You are not permitted to test anywhere else.
Home School students	Michigan law (Public Act 521 of 2002) requires the public school district in which you reside to offer you the MME. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. It is YOUR responsibility to contact your local public school district in a timely manner, so do not delay. The district is not required to make special arrangements just to fit your schedule. You will test as if you were one of their students, but your scores will not be mixed with their students' scores. If they ask you to contact them later when details about testing dates and times have been finalized, be sure to follow-up.
Out-of-State students	You are a Michigan resident but attend high school outside Michigan. Some typical examples (this is not an exhaustive list of possible circumstances or scenarios, but these are the most typical): You live in Michigan but attend a nonpublic high school outside Michigan, or a boarding school outside Michigan, or a military-type high school outside Michigan. You are a Michigan resident but live with your parents outside Michigan because: They work for a company that has operations outside Michigan. They are civilian employees or contract employees working for or with the US military or other unit of government. They are missionaries. You and your parents will eventually return to Michigan. You may test at an MME Auxiliary Test Center (click here for registration information). You are not permitted to test anywhere else.
Out-of-State students	You live outside Michigan and attend high school outside Michigan. Some typical examples (this is not an exhaustive list of possible circumstances or scenarios, but these are the most typical): You live with your parents in Florida and attend high school there. Your parents still own property in Michigan. (Florida is simply an example here... it could be any state or country.) Your parents are divorced and have shared custody. One parent lives in Michigan; you live with your other parent in Arizona during the school year and attend high school there. (Arizona is simply an example here... it could be any state or country.) You may not take the MME. "Dual residency," your parents paying Michigan property taxes, and shared parental custody are not by themselves factors in determining your eligibility to take the MME.
US Military	You are a Michigan resident and live outside Michigan with a parent who is a uniformed member (not a civilian employee or contract employee) of the US military assigned to active duty, and who claims Michigan as their "home of record." Please contact us. We have information unique to your circumstance. Do not delay... contact us by January.
Unaffiliated students (Non-registered high school)	In rare instances, a Michigan high school will choose not to register with the Michigan Department of Education. If you attend a non-registered high school, we classify you as an Unaffiliated student. You may test at an MME Auxiliary Test Center (click here for registration information). You are not permitted to test anywhere else. Before you complete your registration application, please contact us. We have specific codes you must use on your application.
Adult Education program or GED program	You may not take the MME. If you took the MME while you were still in high school then later quit high school, your existing MME scores will remain on file, and may help you become eligible for a Michigan Promise scholarship.
