MME Information

The MME score is printed on your transcript and is a Graduation Requirement.

The MME score is comprised of a portion of questions and answers from the days of testing:

Day 1 is the SAT, a national test Day 2 is the Work-keys, a State test

If you prepare for the SAT, which is the hardest of the two days of testing, and try your best on the Workkeys, which are much easier questions, you will obtain the best score possible and increase your chances of scholarship money and college acceptance.

There are also subject area M-STEP tests which will be discussed at a later date.

English

Not simply a “grammar” test. Don’t spend a large amount of time

reading the entire passage. Consider the context surrounding

each underlined item. Talk to yourself inside your head.

“Hear” the language. Don’t create a problem where there

is none.

Reading

You don’t have to do the passages in order.

To read or not to read? Use the questions to find the answer. Use context clues for vocab. “Whole-passage” questions or specific

questions?
