Why Do I Need to Take the MME?
 Determines Student Growth for students from year to year!!
ACT Explore 8thACT PLAN 9th ACT Released 10thMME 11th
 The MME is mandatory for juniors in the state of Michigan – all 3
days must be completed during this schedule (other Saturday ACT’s
do not substitute)
 ACT portion is college reportable – and is paid for by the state
 It is a graduation requirement for Carman-Ainsworth High School
 Can earn exam exemptions in senior year through MME only (voted
student favorite!)
