IB Testing

What to Know if Your Student is Taking an IB Exam(s)

On the day of an IB exam students who are testing are excused from all classes. Students need to arrive approximately 20 minutes before the exam start time(or as soon as they get off the bus in the morning) to review their testing location. All IB exams are in the lecture hall or wrestling room. Seat assignments will be posted in the main hall each day. If students are at school before or after an exam they must attend their scheduled classes.
