Online and Homeschool AP Exam Registration
ONLINE (GAVS/FVA) AND HOMESCHOOL/PRIVATE SCHOOL REGISTRATION
Deadline: October 24, 2025
These instructions are ONLY for students enrolled in a course that they are taking online through GAVS, FVA or a homeschool/private school program.
The registration deadline is October 24, 2025 for fall, spring, and yearlong courses!
***TWO JOIN CODES WILL BE NECESSARY***
You will receive one code from your teacher and the other during the registration process - keep reading to learn more!
STEP 1: Use Online Instructor Provided Join Code
-
Online instructors will provide students with a join code for access to AP course resources in the My AP Platform.
-
Students should use this first join code to join their online class in My AP.
-
Once enrolled in the class section, the student should select “No” under “Order Exam?” if this is an option. In most cases, this has already been selected for you.
-
This allows students to use assigned resources and review material for exam preparation
-
If left at the default “undecided,” students will be unable to register for the exam with their base school. Go to STEP 2.
-
STEP 2: Lambert Total Registration (TR): www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/110927
-
Total Registration is used each year for students to pay for PSAT and AP exams.
-
Students should use the same account and login information they used last year. If students already have a TR account, they should look for the “Do you have an existing Total Registration Account? Login here.” link.
-
If a student does not have a TR account, he/she must create an account. The account should use the student’s email address - not a parent’s email address.
-
Log into the Total Registration platform or use the link above to create an account, if this is the first year you are taking AP Exams at LHS.
-
Select all your exams and instructors for face-to-face AP courses
-
For online FVA/GAVS choose “Online-Year Long” or Online-2nd Semester Only
-
Independent study course choose “Independent Study” or “No Teacher” for your teacher.
-
Homeschool or private school students will select the “Home school” or “Non-Lambert Student” option for your teacher.
STEP 3: Pay for Your Exams
-
Go to the Total Registration home page after registering
-
Select “Student Account History”
-
Find the SECOND Join Code for your FVA/GAVS online course. This is an “Exam Only” join code.
STEP 4: MY AP: https://myap.collegeboard.org/login
Students MUST keep up with their CB account login information. LHS does not have access to student accounts.
-
From STEP 2 above, use the “Exam Only” SECOND join code you located in Total Registration to register for your exam(s) at your base school (LHS). You will add the second Exam Only join code, like adding a new course in My AP Classroom by clicking the yellow button that says “add course or exam” and entering the code.
-
Under “Order Exam?” select “Yes.” This step ensures your exam is ordered and exam labels are shipped for your exams. If you do not have the option to select yes, look at your landing page to confirm that you see the new section and that it shows you are registered to test at Lambert.
-
Students MUST indicate in each AP course on the College Board website whether they will take the exam in May or elect not to take the particular exam(s).
-
Each account is defaulted to “Undecided,” therefore students must select “yes” or “no” for their intent to take the AP exam.
Unsure of whether your MyAP registration is complete? Look at the two examples below:
The student enrolled in this course has NOT completed all parts registration in the MyAP platform, so their MyAP course shows that they are NOT registered for the exam at Lambert.
The student enrolled in the course below HAS completed all parts of registration in the MyAP platform, so their MyAP course shows that they ARE registered for the exam at Lambert.
Registration is only complete when the exam is paid for and the MyAP platform states “Registered for Exam given by Lambert High School.”
