Students who do not meet state qualifications for College and Career Readiness will have to pay their Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate testing fees for the 2026-2027 school year after Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) changed rules surrounding who it will be paying for in the upcoming school year. “MCPS covered the AP/IB exam fees up until the end of 2025-26 school year. The changes for this upcoming year are in alignment with the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future,” MCPS spokesperson Liliana López said in a July 14 email to Bethesda Today.
