1. Find the percentile ranks.

2. If the student got a percentile rank of 90, what does it mean?

• This means that if the student got a percentile rank of 90 is higher than 90% of the other
students’ scores in the Mathematics Admission Test.

3. If the student got a percentile rank of 60, explain what is the meaning of this?

• This means that if the student got a percentile rank of 60 is higher than 60% of the other
students’ scores in the Mathematics Admission Test.

4. If the student got a percentile rank of 99, what does it mean?

• This means that if the student got a percentile rank of 99 is higher than 99% of the other
students’ scores in the Mathematics Admission Test.

5. If the student got a percentile rank of 75, explain what is the meaning of this?

• This means that if the student got a percentile rank of 75 is higher than 75% of the other
students’ scores in the Mathematics Admission Test.
