International Baccalaureate (IB) Examinations
Admissions Main Page | | Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations

Montgomery College awards credit for a score of 5 or higher on International Baccalaureate (IB) higher-level (HL) exams and for a score of 5 or higher on the standard-level (SL) exams when combined with the IB diploma. You must earn the IB diploma to receive any Montgomery College credit for SL exams. Some IB credits will apply to Montgomery College’s general education requirements. See chart below.

Diploma Holders: Students who earn an IB Diploma may be awarded up to 30 college credits toward the Associates degree based on results of the Higher Level and Standard Level exams. Certificate Holders: Students who earn an IB Certificate will be eligible to receive between 3 to 8 college credits based on the results of their higher-level (HL) exams only.

Students who plan to transfer from Montgomery College to another institution should be aware that transfer credits may vary from school to school. Advanced standing credits earned at Montgomery College may or may not be accepted by your next school. We suggest that you consult with your future school before making final decisions on your Montgomery College classes.
