<p>I have the question about perfoming the SAT scores on collegeboard.com</p>
<p>Percentile*</p>
<hr>
<p>Biology E -- 97
Math Level 1 -- 97</p>
<hr>
<p>*Compared to the class of 2004</p>
<p>What does it mean?</p>
<p>it means 97% of the test takers scored lower than you..</p>
<p>Thank you! I thought abou it, but doubted</p>
<p>97% score lower OR THE SAME as you</p>

<p>although wikipedia says differently

<p>OK, then it's not the outstanding result, I think. As many as 3% (about 60,000) scored more than me in last year.</p>
<p>Not outstanding? </p>
<p>Shut the f*** up. Most of us would kill for a percentile like that.</p>
<p>Do you think it's really outstanding? Shut up! :-)</p>
<p>It's very good, but not outstanding for Ivy League applicant.</p>
<p>Just remember that lots of people get mad when smart people are like "Goddamn I can't believe I got a 750 on my verbal!!"</p>
<p>a 750 and a 760 are very good</p>
<p>How did you learn that my results are 750 and 760? From other threads or from persentiles?</p>
