AP EXAM REGISTRATION FAQ

What is meant by a "complete" registration?

Registration is a two-step process involving the My AP Classroom and Total Registration.

  1. Students must indicate in the MY AP platform they are taking each exam, by selecting "Yes" under "Order Exam." This platform is also where they complete their personal information for College Board to create exam labels for testing May.

  2. For all exams they intend to take in the spring, students must register and be paid in full in the Total Registration platform.

I am taking an AP Course through FVA and my teacher is not from my base school. How do I register?

  • You will register for resources with a join code for your FVA course and select “No” for your intent to take the exam. This will allow you to access the AP resources with your virtual teacher. The "No" selection may not be an option in some online platforms.

  • You will register to pay for the AP exam through your base school’s Total Registration website.

  • You will receive an additional "Exam Only" join code from your base school through the Total Registration website, by selecting "Independent Study" for your teacher.

  • This "Exam Only" join code allows you to register for an “Exam Only” section in My AP platform, where you will select “Yes” if you wish to take the exam.
