Question

thanx in advance...

Answer 1

A: In brief, a percentage is the percent of items answer correctly on the test, while percentile is the percent of people who scored the same or below you.  For example, a person who scored a 75% on the test would be in the 90th percentile.  That means that he or she scored better than 90% of the people who have taken the test, but worse than 10% of test takers
