Registration and School Policies
Most students register for AP exams through their high school's AP Coordinator. Schools may set their own policies regarding prerequisites, such as requiring a certain grade in a prior math course before allowing a student to enroll in AP Statistics. If you are homeschooled or your school does not offer the exam, you must contact the College Board's AP Services directly to find a local school that is willing to administer the test for you. All registration policies are published by the College Board.
