Where Do I Test?
Public School students	Test at your own high school. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. Contact your school's Guidance Office for details.
Nonpublic School students	If your nonpublic school offers the MME, test at your own school. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. Contact your school's Guidance Office for details.
	If your nonpublic school does not offer the MME, you may test at an MME Auxiliary Test Center (see the table below for registration information). You are not permitted to test anywhere else.
Home School students	Michigan law (Public Act 521 of 2002) requires the public school district in which you reside to offer you the MME. You are not permitted to test anywhere else. It is YOUR responsibility to contact your local public school district in a timely manner, so do not delay. The district is not required to make special arrangements just to fit your schedule; you will test as if you were one of their students. They will use a different code number (District Code 99999, Building Code 09998) on your answer documents so your scores are not mixed with their students' scores. If they ask you to contact them later when details about testing dates and times have been finalized, be sure to follow-up.
Out-of-State students	You are a Michigan resident but attend high school outside Michigan. Some typical examples: You live in southeast Michigan near the Ohio border. You attend a nonpublic high school in Toledo. You live in Michigan. You attend a boarding school in New York. You live in Michigan. You attend a military-type high school outside Michigan, like Culver Military Academy in Indiana. You are a Michigan resident. You are currently living with your parents who are missionaries outside Michigan. You and your parents will return to Michigan when they complete their mission work. You may test at an MME Auxiliary Test Center only (see the table below for registration information). You are not permitted to test anywhere else.
	You live outside Michigan and attend high school outside Michigan. Some typical examples: You live with your parents in Florida and attend high school there. Your parents still own a house in Michigan. Your parents are divorced and have shared custody. Your father lives in Michigan. You live with your mother in Arizona and attend high school there. You may not take the MME. "Dual residency," paying Michigan property taxes, and shared parental custody do not alone make you eligible to take the MME.
Military	You are a Michigan resident living outside Michigan because your parent is a member of the US military assigned to active duty outside Michigan. Please contact us (phone 517-373-8393, or email: oeaa@mi.gov). We have information unique to your circumstance. Do not delay... contact us by January.
