MME or MI-Access?
Since there is not a single MME ELA, mathematics or science assessment a student with and IEP will take either MME or MI-Access.
Science and Social Studies
Q: If I have a student who has taken MI-Access FI ELA and mathematics, but took MEAP science and social studies, how will the student now be assessed in science and social studies?

A: First of all, if a student can take MEAP science and social studies, the student should not be taking MI-Access. However, for student who do take MI-Access, the IEP Team must determine how the student will be assessed in science and social studies until MI-Access assessments in these content areas are developed.
