I thought of them as more like the MEAPs (don't ask me what they stand for)  
You can score either a 1, 2 , 3, or 4 on each test, and there is a seperate 
test for each subject.  If you score enough 3s and 4s you get a scholarship, 
The Michigan Merit award or something,   I never actually took them, being 
in private school until senior year, but most of my friends took them and 
told me all about them and they all have money for college, while i am going 
into debt.
