College Board Testing Accommodations
Students who would like to apply to the College Board for testing accommodations through their school must submit application and parental consent forms before January 15th in order to provide schools time to meet the submission deadline established by the College Board. Please contact your school’s Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) coordinator for additional information. Families can also submit requests directly to College Board.
Please note that testing accommodations listed on IEPs or 504s are not automatically granted for AP testing, so families must apply separately to the College Board. If a student already has College Board accommodations approved from a previous PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, SAT, or AP test, then no further action is needed. Once instated, accommodations remain in place for all College Board testing.

Opt-Out Timeline & Fees
2025-26 AP/IB Test Opt-Out Timeline and Fees
As part of the FCPS Approved Budget, the fees for the first six AP/IB tests taken for courses in which students are enrolled for high school credit will be paid for by FCPS. Students taking AP tests without enrolling in the corresponding FCPS course are responsible for the test fee(s).
FCPS encourages all students to take AP/IB tests for courses in which they are enrolled. However, students will have the opportunity to opt out of the test(s) by filling out an Opt Out form to be provided by the school. To assist in the decision-making process, students will be provided a report with their previous tests and current AP/IB course enrollment.
AP/IB students must make Opt Out decisions by October 31st. All tests for courses in which students are enrolled will be ordered if a student does not opt out by October 31st.Student accounts will be billed in December for tests that exceed the six FCPS-funded tests. If a student exceeds their six exams paid for by FCPS they will be billed a $99 nonrefundable fee for each AP exam. If a student does not opt out by October 31st, and does not sit for the exam, exam fees are nonrefundable. Additional information on FCPS AP/IB exam fee policies can be found on the website.
