Percentile Rank NMAT

Hi I am preparing for the National Medical Admission Test NMAT so can you please tell me that what does the percentile rank mean so I can have an idea??

Well the National Medical Admission Test is a nationwide examination required for the entrance to any medical school in the Philippines

The percentile rank or score shows how a test taker scored when compared to all other test takers who took the exam (e.g. all test takers who took the NMAT by GMAC™ exam).

For example, if a test taker is said to be at the 75th percentile, the test taker scored better than 75% of the test takers who took the NMAT by GMAC™ exam.

NMAT

Scores will be equated for all test takers and percentile scores will be calculated after all test takers have taken their test

All the test forms are equated to account for any differences in overall difficulty and the raw test scores are placed on a common scale.

This is done to ensure scores are comparable across test forms such that the scores are not impacted by different test takers getting different test forms.
