Brilliant service that helped me to get into Uni by passing both maths and English functional skills level 2. The online exams are much better than going to an exam centre.
Extremely happy with the service MME provided. Everything was straight and clear. I booked both English and Maths Functional Skills Level 2 exams and passed both. I have researched on the internet before booking and MME is the cheapest and best provider for the functional skills.Their instructions were simple and clear before the exams. MME send me past revision papers and link to a mock test which was very helpful to familiarise how the exam is done.I highly recommend MME to anyone looking to write their functional skills.
