<p>I got my score report today. I scored 800 on both Math 2 and Physics..
And I found out my national percentile are 89% and 90%
Does that mean there are about 10% people nationalwide scored higher than me??? This sounds so....weird.</p>
<p>Can anyone explain this to me?</p>
<p>What I’m thinking is, unless you’re mistaken on those percentiles, that it means 11% and 10%, respectively, of the test-takers scored more or equal to what you scored.
In this case, they all scored 800, just like you did.
Hope that helps you feel better.:)</p>
<p>lol yeah they scored the same as you. My 800 on Math 2 was a 89 as well but a 790 on Physics was a 88 (on different days). Percentiles dont change much.</p>
<p>…I can’t believe there are so many people scoring 800s…Maybe that means I should work harder and get more SAT done…</p>
<p>lol why is that hard to believe…</p>
<p>would you take an SAT II in a subject you were bad at?? For example, I have never spoken chinese/read chinese in my life, so would I take the Chinese SAT II? No. Thats why the average for that test is an astounding 760. Only native speakers take it.</p>
<p>That makes sense…Thank you
Maybe I should have realized how smart the students who took the SATs were.</p>
