AP Exam Registration Process:
Step 1: Join your AP course on the College Board site. Your AP teacher provided you with a Join Code for the course. If you have not completed this step, please do so ASAP!
Step 2 : Students should go to the Total Registration site to pay for the intended exams. Once the exam is paid for, WHS will place the order for the exam with the College Board.
Note: Exams listed in a student's College Board account should MATCH the exams paid for in the Total Registration account. AP exam registration deadline is March 3.
If you no longer wish to take your exam please contact Amy Swenson. If you have paid for an exam in Total Registration and no longer wish to take that exam, you should log into your Total Registration account and request to cancel. For the 2020-21 AP Exam administration, the College Board is waiving their cancellation fee for unused exams.
