Admission to AUB

SAT I + School transcript of record for grades 10 & 11

THE COMPOSITE SCORE (CS) and how it is generated by AUB Composite Score =50% SAT I + 50% school grades = (Critical reading + mathematical reasoning) + Grade 10 + Grade 11

AUB follows a scale of 800

School grades from grade 10 and grade 11 are converted to a scale of 800.

How is this done ?If a student is above school average he will get

above 500/800If a student is below school average he gets below

500/800AUB takes the average of the IC students applying

this year Every student who gets the average of IC students is

automatically granted 500/800

Every student is compared only against the group applying from his

school• This means that if the students’ average in

school X is 90/100, the student who gets a 90 gets a 500/800 on the AUB scale .

• If IC students get an average of 75 /100 then the IC student who gets a 75 gets a 500/800.• Conclusion : a 90 from another school is the

same as a 75 from IC.
