Testing Information

Volunteer to Support AP Exams at Oakton High School

This year, Oakton High School students will be taking more AP Exams than ever, and we need your help to make testing run smoothly! If you’re available during the AP Testing window, May 4–15, we invite you to volunteer as a proctor. Please complete the AP Testing Proctor Volunteer Google Form if you are willing to volunteer. Mrs. Stewart, OHS AP Coordinator will reach out with further information and details with the FCPS Volunteer Registration and available slots for volunteering during the testing window.

Important: Parents of students taking an AP Exam cannot volunteer during the time their student is testing, but you are welcome to help on other days of testing.

What You’ll Do as a Large Group Exam Proctor:

Pass out student ID labels before testing begins
Help students find their seats and get ready
Distribute testing materials
Collect trash and provide pencils/pens as needed
Assist students with restroom breaks during testing
Help teachers collect and sort ID labels
Support Lead Proctors with collecting and counting test materials

Your support ensures a smooth and successful testing experience for all our students and staff!

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

Oakton High will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Thursday, March 5, 2026. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country. The results are released as The Nation's Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents/guardians, policymakers, and the public. Families of students selected to participate will be notified via email.
