STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES
Due to the increase in universities that have shifted to test-optional admissions, the number of ASB students who complete the SAT or ACT is no longer large enough to report statistically significant cohort results. Students who choose to complete one or both of these tests are supported in the registration and testing process through our post-secondary counseling program.

ASB believes that students and their families should make informed decisions throughout the post-secondary application process. To this end, students have a limit of ten (10) applications to universities and colleges worldwide. Admissions officers receiving an application from an ASB student can be confident that it is a serious application reflective of time spent researching the institution.
On average, about 95% of graduates go straight to college or university for post-secondary studies, with about 5% transitioning to national service in their home country, taking a gap year, or joining the workforce.
Students who attempt the full IB Diploma at ASB consistently outperform world averages on overall points earned and pass rates, underscoring the consistently high levels of achievement within our DP cohorts.
