Advanced Placement Examinations for Non-Public School
Students Living in Loudoun County
Students who are legal residents of Loudoun County but are not enrolled in
Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) may participate in Advanced Placement (AP)
examinations administered by the School Counseling Departments in LCPS, by
following the required registration procedures and guidelines.
Test takers are reminded that each AP examination is based on the rigorous
curriculum established by the College Board and regulations for the administration of
the examination must adhere to the internationally-standardized regulations of the
College Board. Further information regarding AP examinations is available at
http://www.apcentral.collegeboard.com.
Results are mailed to the student’s home by the College Board around the
middle of July. Detailed information about AP examinations may be found at
http://www.collegeboard.com under the College Board Tests tab.


On or before February 26, the student or student’s parent/guardian must register for
the AP examination(s) by completing and submitting the “Registration Form for
Advanced Placement Examination(s) for Loudoun Students Not Enrolled in LCPS.”
The form and information packet are available at the high school in the family’s

Counseling at the local high school along with the fee(s) for the examination(s).
The fee is $92 per examination. A list of high school contact information is

Security Act.

year did not exceed 185 percent of the poverty level as established by the
U.S. Census Bureau. The table on page two lists annual family incomes, by

The Director of School Counseling will verify that the test is available at the school.
The Director will provide the registrant with a receipt, specifying the date, time, and
location of the examination(s).
 If the test is not being administered to LCPS students at the LCPS high school
nearest the student’s home, the director may assist the student in locating
another LCPS high school where the test is being offered.

Some high schools require pre-administration sessions, in accordance with College
Board guidelines. Students who do not attend the high school will be informed
regarding the time and place of the pre-administration session and must attend the
pre-administration session. If the high school does not conduct a pre-administration
session, the work of that session will be completed with the entire group prior to
administration of the examination.

In accordance with College Board regulations, accommodations for special needs
will be permitted only if the student has completed the required “Services for
Students with Disabilities” form and received approval from the College Board for
such accommodations.

Refunds for untaken tests will follow College Board guidelines.
