Genuine question — when you apply from outside the UK system, how does a registrar evaluate the reference from an overseas school they've never heard of?

DS is at a well-known international school in Zurich but I don't think most London registrars will have a sense of where it sits. Anyone who's done this — what helped, and was MAP or any standardised testing useful as a translator?
