EXPLANATION OF SCORES
I.
The scores are given in percentiles. The percentile sc;res r un from 01 to 99 and
indicate the percent of candidates receiving a lowe-r score. Thus, if a candidate
has a percentile score 63, 63 percent of the candidates taking the test made a
lower score and 37 percent had the same or a higher score.
2. It should be _noted that the total score percentile is rrot a n average of the
percentiles for the sections, but indicates a candidate's relative standfog on the
basis of his total test score.
Candidates with a generaJ.ly high record on the test
will have a _percentile on the tobal score that is higher than the average of thek
percentiles on the sections.
Similarly, candid.ates with a generally low. record
on the. test will have a lower percentile on the total score than the average of
their section percentile scores.
