Readiness score FAQ
What does the readiness score measure?
It estimates school-level support for international applications, including exam preparation, documentation, curriculum signals, and likely destination fit.
Is this an admission guarantee?
No. It is a planning score. Families still need to verify transcripts, references, test requirements, costs, and destination-specific rules.
How should parents use the ranking?
Use it to build a shortlist, then compare fees, counselling quality, exam support, and the school's actual history with international applications.
