FAQ

How is percentile calculated from rank?

Percentile = ((Class Size - Rank + 1) / Class Size) × 100, or simpler: 100 - (Rank/Class Size × 100).

What rank is top 10%?

In a class of 400, top 10% = ranks 1-40. In a class of 100, top 10% = ranks 1-10.

Is class rank still used?

Many schools have moved away from rank, but some scholarships and applications still require it.

What does 90th percentile mean?

You scored higher than 90% of students—in a class of 100, you'd be ranked around 10th.
