As a first year high school testing coordinator, at a fairly large school, I knew nothing about AP.  A fellow coordinator had used Total Registration and encouraged me to do the same.  I loved the ease of it and the reports I could run to help me with ordering, with free/reduced lunch waivers, counts, and communication with those registered.  The kids could register at their convenience and parents could pay online.  I hate to think of the record keeping I would have to do had I not used TR.  It was a life saver.

Our school used Total Registration for the first time this year, based upon several conversations I had as AP Coordinator with Mike Elings, General Manager.  I was able to see how the registration process worked and thought that it would be worth our time trying this out. In the past, I have had students pay at our school site, and there were errors in what they were paying for.  Due to the volume of tests that our students take, accuracy is important.  I particularly liked that they could select what they wanted to pay for and that teachers could check the rosters of who had paid.  In addition, I was able to state our school policies easily so that there were no errors.  I also liked that they had to supply a working e-mail address for both student and parent (our school's e-mails that we have on file are sometimes wrong), so if I needed to contact them, I could easily. 

We will definitely be using Total Registration in the future for AP exam registration!
