AP Exam Registration Questions:

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,
