toothbetold Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Hey guys, Just a quick question! Why is it that when people ask for their chances of admission, instead of reporting the percentile associated with their scores for that test session, they simply just say the score? For example, a score of 21 may be 84th percentile for one test session, but 78th percentile for another? So wouldn't it make more sense to talk about the percentile associated with the score obtained? Is it because schools look just at the scores and not the percentile? I'm a bit confused - if anyone could offer some insight, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you so so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
