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 500/800
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
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.
