Purpose
MEAP tests provide a common denominator within the state to measure how students are achieving on the same skills and knowledge. These tests have been shown to be sound, reliable and valid measures of academic achievement.

Subject Areas and Grade Levels
Federal law, No Child Left Behind, requires testing in reading and mathematics (3rd – 8th grades) each year. In Michigan, science (5th and 8th grades), social studies (6th and 9th grades), and writing (4th and 7th grades) is assessed every three years.

![Page 25: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Student Test Materials
In addition to educator resources, test booklets and answer documents are provided by grade level and subject area for students. Third graders use combined, consumable test booklets and answer documents in which they mark their answers.
04/21/2325
![Page 26: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Form Numbers
There are five forms of each test. Each school has one of the five form numbers assigned. Students using certain accommodations must use a Form 1 test booklet. All parts of a test must be in the same form number for the student to earn a valid score.

![Page 27: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Cautions
Student test booklets and answer documents are specific to the year, grade level, and subject area. Never use last year’s materials. Match the grade level materials to the student’s grade level.
04/21/2328
![Page 29: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Cautions
Answer documents usually are pre-printed with student information in lower left corner of the document. When the bar code is not pre-printed, a bar code label for the student MUST be adhered to the answer document.
04/21/2329
![Page 30: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Cautions
Never use one student’s pre-printed answer document for a second student without printing a new bar code label for the second student. Make sure the new label covers completely the pre-printed label.
04/21/2330
![Page 31: OEAA Web Conference Series Michigan Educational Assessment Program Fall 2011.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697c0111a28abf838ccb592/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Emergency Tests
Emergency tests (Form 99) are used in special circumstances. Note that students using the emergency tests must complete all parts of the test in Form 99 to receive a test score.
