<p>Hmm, but on the ABRSM website, they say that the examinations are internationally benchmarked. Also, on the certificates, the International board, not the Regional board, is ensigned at the bottom. And does location of where the examinations proctored necessarily determine anything…? (I’m just confused about the premise of your statement) Like…AP tests are administered at school, and the AP honors/certificates (e.g. National AP Scholar), as well as National Merit, are conferred through the school, but that doesn’t necessarily make them school level or regional awards.</p>
