Michigan Merit Exam
The Michigan Merit Examination (MME) is Michigan's mandatory, statewide high school assessments for students in grade 11 and eligible students in grade 12. It is administered each spring, and consists of three components:
- College Board SAT
- WIN work readiness assessments in math, reading, and data
- Michigan-developed science and social studies M-STEP tests
The MME gives students a no-cost opportunity to take the SAT, a nationally used college admissions test that assesses reading, writing, and math. Scores on the SAT score are used for scholarship consideration in addition to college admission. The WIN is a work readiness assessment system that evaluates fundamental skills needed for job success. M-Step tests in science and social studies measure student mastery of state learning standards.

SAT / ACT
College entrance exams are an important part of the college application process for some institutions. There are two tests that are widely accepted at most colleges and universities in the United States: the SAT and the ACT. All Zeeland students will take the SAT in the spring of their junior year. This administration is part of the Michigan Merit Exam and is taken at no cost by students during the regular school day.
In an effort to maximize scores for admission or scholarships, some students elect to either retake the SAT and/or take the ACT on their own time. Please click on the test links below for information. There is a cost for these tests, but fee waivers are available for those who qualify.
