Thank you for your interest in MET!

MET was developed by Michigan Language Assessment at the University of Michigan, with the mission to help you achieve your education and career goals by providing trusted English language exams that draw on the expertise of two of the world’s leading universities: Cambridge University and the University of Michigan.

Michigan Language Assessment is undertaking a concordance study that will compare results from individuals who have taken both MET and IELTS Academic. Read on for more information and complete your application today!

Before Starting the Application

Please review the application criteria for acceptance into the study:

• You must be 17 years or older at the time of testing.
• Testing must occur at an authorized test center; remote tests will not be accepted.
• You need to complete both tests within 90 days of each other.
• If you’ve already taken MET and IELTS Academic, you can submit scores from both tests taken in 2023 or 2024. You must have taken the exams within 90 days of each other.
• If you have not yet taken or scheduled MET and IELTS Academic, you may still participate if you take both tests within 90 days of each other.

If you have already taken IELTS Academic and you have a pdf, jpg, or png file of your IELTS Academic Test Report, have it ready before applying. We will ask you to upload it during the application process.
