    ACT/MME (Michigan Merit Examination)

The Michigan Merit Examination is the state assessment administered to all students enrolled in Grade 11 in March of each year. The MME consists of three major components: the ACT college entrance examination, the WorkKeys job skills assessments in reading and mathematics, and Michigan assessments in mathematics, science, social studies, and persuasive writing. The combined MME assessment measures student learning in the Michigan high school standards, benchmarks, and core content expectations.

The Michigan Merit Examination (MME) is administered in the spring. The Michigan Department of Education prepared the schedule below in cooperation with ACT, taking into account a variety of issues including ACT national testing dates, religious holy days and statewide high school events. The diversity of school and community needs such as traditional Spring Breaks was also considered although it was not possible to avoid conflicts for all schools. Dates are contingent upon ACT final approval.

These tests replace the old MEAP High School Test and they are required for graduation by
the Harrison Board of Education.
NOTE:  9th Grade MEAP testing will be October 22, 2009

PLAN Test The PLAN® program helps 10th graders build a solid foundation for future academic and career success and provides information needed to address school districts' high-priority issues. It is a comprehensive guidance resource that helps students measure their current academic development, explore career/training options, and make plans for the remaining years of high school and post-graduation years. PLAN can help all students—those who are college-bound as well as those who are likely to enter the workforce directly after high school. As a "pre-ACT" test, PLAN is a powerful predictor of success on the ACT. At the same time, many schools recognize the importance of PLAN testing for all students, as it focuses attention on both career preparation and improving academic achievement. Typically, PLAN is administered in the fall of the sophomore year. The HHS PLAN test for all 10th graders is scheduled for:  Oct. 29, 2009 The PLAN and PSAT tests can qualify students for Dual Enrollment.
