    • About Testing

    This information is for applicants to the Montgomery Blair Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science Magnet and Richard Montgomery International Baccalaureate Programs who are applying to enter one or both these programs in the Fall of 2009. This information is also in your application packet.

    For the class incoming in the Fall of 2010, all applicants are to report to the assigned testing site on Saturday, December 5th, 2009, between 7:15 and 8:00 AM (Snow Date: December 12th). No contact will be made to confirm this testing date. Students who are unable to test on Saturday due to religious reasons will be able to test on Sunday, December 6th, at Montgomery Blair High School.
