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

17. AUB follows a scale of 800 School grades from grade 10 and grade 11 are converted to a scale of How is this done ? If a student is above school average he will get above 500/800 If a student is below school average he gets below 500/800 AUB takes the average of the IC students applying this year Every student who gets the average of IC students is automatically granted 500/800

18. 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.
