Announcements for the Rockville Assessment Center

Please click here for important information on the elevator outage in the Campus Center building from May 26 - August 31, 2009.

The Assessment Center will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, and Saturday July 4th.

We will be open on Saturday July 11th and Saturday, July 18th from 8:30am - 2:00pm

You must bring a U.S.-issued photo ID or a passport AND know your Montgomery College Student ID # for all placement and academic testing.

Montgomery College assesses students to determine their entry level skills in reading, English and math. Your scores help counselors and academic advisors recommend appropriate courses for you.

Determine which assessment test is best for your situation or if you are exempt from testing.

• New students who learned American English as their first language or attended at least 10 years of school (elementary, middle, high school) in the United States take the Accuplacer test to determine English, reading and mathematics skills. You may take the English and reading sections of the Accuplacer separately from the mathematics section.

• New students who did not learn American English as their first language or who did not attend at least 10 years of school (elementary, middle, high school) in the United States -- U.S. citizens and residents as well as international students -- must take the Academic American English (LOEP) placement test to determine English and reading skills.

Schedule your assessment at one of our campuses.

Note: each campus does its own scheduling. Call the Center on the campus where you will attend.

If you have a documented disability and require accommodations for testing or coursework, contact Disability Support Services (www.montgomerycollege.edu/dss/) at the Campus you plan to attend.

Take your assessment test. Arrive 15 minutes early and bring your photo ID and student identification number (M#) .

A United States issued photo identification or an international passport is required for entry. You must also bring your Montgomery College student identification number with you.  It begins with a capital M and is printed in your letter of acceptance and on the receipt you receive when you pay your application fee. 

Obtain your results by completing an Advising & Planning Program (eMAP, MAP or IMAP).

• If you take the MC assessment test, you will choose a date and time to attend an advising session when you take the test.
• If you are exempt from the MC assessment, call the campus that you will be attending to schedule the advising session:
  • Germantown - 240-567-7739
  • Rockville - 240-567-5088/5063
  • Takoma Park/Silver Spring - 240-567-1555

You must bring one form of photo identification (ID) to the ~2-hour advising session.
