Michigan Merit Exam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Michigan Merit Exam (MME) is a replacement for the MEAP as a minimum-competency test for students. It was optional for class of 2007 high school students (ie, could be taken instead of the MEAP) and required for class of 2008 and beyond.

Part of the MME is the ACT. In addition, there are Michigan-specific sections, including one on social studies and the WorkKeys test.

[edit] WorkKeys

The WorkKeys test is a section of the MME which tested students' ability to handle everyday business work: reading forms, handling addresses, scheduling, and similar.

It was added as a requirement for members of the class of 2007 who took the MEAP.

[edit] Difficulty

The MME quickly became known for the difficulty of its questions, which was thought by many students to be lacking. A facebook group titled "The Hardest Part of the MME was Breaking the Test Booklet Seal" gained 500 members on 3/13/08, the day that the test was completed. Certain questions were particularly well known, including one known as the "tomato question".
