Schools that have used our service have mentioned that they will never go back to the "old" way of registering kids by hand or having the teachers determine who is taking the tests. Here are some of the reasons they give:

The cost of the service varies according to many factors. The largest determination would be how many tests your school gives and how much customization we would need to do. We always give a firm fixed price upfront. Please use our "Request Pricing" form to let us know your specific needs.  With this information, we can give you a bid for the entire process. In general, costs range from $1.30 to $0.40 per exam.

Students can pay online

There is an additional fee of $0.30 per registration and 4% of the fees or this option as we have to pay the bank to process cards. This translates into about $3.80 for an $86.00 exam fee. Many schools will choose to increase the exam fee in order to cover the cost of this convenience. Most families will be thrilled to pay online and not have to hassle with returning a check and worrying about whether it is turned in on time.

Many have asked if Total Registration pays the College Board directly for the exams. We do not pay the College Board. The school is still responsible for ordering exams and paying for them as they always are. What Total Registration does is give you accurate data and help you collect the fees in order to have a painless, organized registration process.

If the online payment option is not used ,students will need to bring their payment to school and the payment will need to be recorded in the database. This is the only data entry that needs to be done with our AP Exam Registration Service as all of the other information is collected online.

There is a good chance that Total Registration can save you money. There are three main reasons that schools can not manage the AP* exams with the money from test fees:

• Some schools do not know if students have paid. We make it very easy to record payment for each student. A test is not ordered until a student has paid (or arranged for a fee waiver). This assures you that each student is paid.
• Many schools order "extra" tests to be sure that they do not run short on test day. The only reason to do this is if you are not confident in your records. Our service is very organized, so you will always know how many tests you need to order. Every unused test that you order and have to return costs you $13.00. This can quickly use up your portion of the test fee.
• If you do not have enough tests on test day you need to order tests for alternate testing which again will cost you significantly more. With our service you can be confident that you know who is taking what test, and who has paid.

Schools that use our service have not had to use any of their general fund to organize and proctor the AP exams. In fact, they use the test fees to :

• Pay coordinators for their time in organizing testing.
• Pay teachers for proctoring.
• Pay for substitutes to cover classes while teachers proctor.
• Rent space on test days when there isn't any space in the school.

No problem. Total Registration can customize it all. We can design the page to resemble your school's website, using your graphics, fonts and colors. Check out "Samples of Our Service" to see what we have done.

We can export data for you in the format necessary to import into your database. You will then be able manipulate the registrations in any way you desire.
