It’s a good idea to plan ahead—and get comfy—before you start to register.

1. Sign in to your free College Board account. Your parents or counselor can’t register for you.
2. Provide your full, legal name and other identifying information. Make sure it’s the exact same name and information shown on your photo ID.
3. Decide if you want to answer other questions about yourself. This takes time, but it’s worth it if you want colleges and scholarship organizations to find you. Learn why you should opt in to Student Search Service®.
4. Upload a photo that meets very specific photo requirements.
5. Check out, and print your Admission Ticket.
